Where does Microsoft Word store autorecovered documents in Catalina?

I can't seem to find the Autorecovery Save folder in Catalina. Previously I used a command line string to see the files, but that command doesn't work anymore.

Is this feature still implemented with Word using O365 subscription and macOS 10.15.1 Catalina?


Solution 1:

You will get the AutoRecovery folder under the Library of your user folder.

  • The library under your user folder is normally hidden. So press command+shift+. to see all the hidden folder.

After this, go to

/Macintosh HD/Users/xxx/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery

Here xxx is your username

You will see your recovered files over there.
