How to Recover Unsaved/Deleted Photoshop Files

If you've accidentally closed Photoshop without saving or experienced a program crash, or if you've deleted your Photoshop files due to wrong deletion, hard drive formatting, or other reasons, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are ways to recover your unsaved or deleted Photoshop files. This page will guide you through the process of recovering Photoshop files from two different aspects, providing you with solutions to your problems.

Solution 1. How to Recover Deleted or Lost PSD Files

If you want to recover deleted or lost PSD files from your computer or external hard drive, Deep Data Recovery is a must-have tool. It offers a user-friendly graphical user interface that guides you through the recovery process with just a few clicks, making it easy to recover deleted files.

Step 1. Select file types and click "Next" to start

Launch Deep Data Recovery, select the types of files you want to recover, and click "Next" to begin the recovery process.

Step 2. Select a location and start scanning

Launch Deep Data Recovery, hover on the partition/drive where the deleted files were stored, then click "Scan" to find lost files.

Step 3. Select the files you want to recover

When the scan is complete, select the files you want to recover from the list. You can use the filter to show only specific file types. If you remember the file name, you can also search for it in the search box, which is the quickest way to find the desired file.

Step 4. Preview and recover deletedfiles

Preview the recoverable files, select the desired ones, and click "Recover" to save them at a new storage location.

When Photoshop crashes or closes unexpectedly due to human error or software issues, you may lose unsaved PSD files. However, if you're using Photoshop CS5/CS6 or later versions, the program will automatically reopen the previous PSD file, allowing you to continue working on it. If the cache files become corrupted or overwritten, the file may not open, but you can attempt to recover the unsaved Photoshop file.

You can recover unsaved Photoshop files using two methods, but be aware that third-party data recovery software claims are likely false, as such tools can only recover previously saved files that were later deleted from local storage devices.

Solution 2. Restore Unsaved Photoshop Files from AutoSave

To recover a Photoshop file from the AutoRecover folder, first enable the AutoSave feature, which can be found by going to Edit > Preferences > File in Photoshop CC5 or CS 6, then checking if the "AutoSave" option is turned on. This will enable the feature to automatically save your work at set intervals. Once enabled, Photoshop will automatically save your work in the AutoRecover folder, allowing you to recover your file if you encounter any issues or crashes.

To check if the "Automatic save recovery information every * minute" is enabled in Adobe Photoshop CC, go to the "Edit" tab, select "Preference", and find "File Handling" - it should be marked like the screenshot below.

If you have set up AutoSave in Photoshop, you can recover an unsaved PSD or PSB file from the AutoRecover folder after a software failure or accidental closure, using the backed-up files.

Path for Photoshop AutoRecover: C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Roaming/Adobe Photoshop (CS6 or CC)/AutoRecover

Solution 3. Restore UnsavedPhotoshop File from Temp Folder

When you are working on Photoshop files, the application uses the Temp folder to save your work in progress. These files exist in the Temp folder, acting as a backup whenPhotoshop crashes.Followthe stepsbelowto recover Photoshopfiles.

Step 1.Go to C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/Temp/.

Step 2. To find the PSD or PSB files, open the Temp folder on your computer. This folder is usually located in the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp directory.

Step 3. To recover a partially saved Photoshop file, you can rename the file extension from .tmp to .psd, .psb, or .pbb. This allows Photoshop to recognize the file as a complete PSD file and attempt to recover the unsaved work.

If you accidentally closed Photoshop without saving your work, there are a few methods to recover your unsaved files on a Mac. First, check if the autosave feature is enabled in Photoshop's preferences.
