If you right click on the file you saved and click the Previous Versions tab, if it doesn't say that there are no previous versions available, and you see a bunch of file versions, it could be that you have shadow copies enabled and they're saving on your main disk. Normally you'd have to tell shadow copies where to save that kind of thing but I don't know you nor the fingers that been all up in your computer.
