Okay, before recovering deleted word document on Windows 10. You have to resist the urge to create a new document or edit an existing one on the same drive where the deleted file was located. This can overwrite the deleted file's fragments, making it impossible to recover. Don't format the drive, as format the drive can erase any remaining file system data, including deleted files. Only use recovery software to scan the drive, and never format it until you've tried to recover your file.
If you've already emptied the Recycle Bin, it's likely that the file has been permanently deleted. However, if you still have access to the Recycle Bin, don't delete anything else, as this can overwrite the deleted file. If you're in the middle of recovering a file, don't shut down your computer or restart it until you've saved the recovered file to a safe location.
