Hannah:
What Jeff says is good advice. If you can't follow it (e.g. no local
computer consultant available), then I'd look in your Time Machine
backups.
Macs can be set up to do regular backups, and if yours was set up like
that, you might be able to recover a version of your file from a recent
backup. You run the "Time Machine" app (which is in "Applications"),
then choose the folder where your file should be, and then you can step
back through previous versions of the files in that folder.

I am sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your computer. However,
this mailing list is about the R programming language.. not about text editors
or about file recovery. I suggest you hire a local computer consultant familiar
with file recovery on your operating system.
There may be some help to be had by consulting at a forum specializing in your
editor software (RStudio?), but the more you use your computer in the process
of looking for your file, the more chance there is that your file could get
overwritten, which is why I recommend getting direct professional assistance
rather than following up on guesses made by random internet users.
Good luck!

Hi,
I made sure to save my rmarkdown file before updating my mac but once I tried
to open up my file after it was done updating it gave me some sort of option
whether to replace the unsaved version or something and I believe I clicked no
and now the rmarkdown file is completely wiped and I can’t find a way to
recover anything. Please help! This was for a manuscript that was almost ready
for submission and I am really desperate to get it back.
