I just had Excel 2016 (Running on the Mac) lock up, so I forced quite the application. When Excel opened I was greeted by: "file name [Last saved by user]" and a version of the document that was about an hour old. After looking through the preferences menu I discovered that Auto Recovery was set to 10 minutes, meaning I would assumethere is a more up to date copy floating around.
I have already searched through:
User_Library_Containers_Com.microsoft.Excel_Data_Library_Preferences_AutoRecovery
Only to find an empty folder... Maybe I'm not looking in the right location, or maybe my system has something incorrectly configured, but any help in recovering this file would be appreciated.
