How Can I Recover Lost File Keynote on Mac?

I worked on a keynote presentation for 4 hours, and I saved it on my Macbook Air. It was late in the night, and I did not realize that I deleted it several minutes later. Unfortunately, I have not synced with iCloud, and it is not in trash neither. So my problem is that can I still recover my lost keynote file? Many thanks!

Usually, you can retrieve a lost keynote file from iCloud. If it has not been synced to your iCloud yet, you do not have to be too worried. It does not matter even when you have emptied it from trash. The lost keynote is still on your Mac, and the deletion makes it inaccessible. Before new data on your Mac overwrite it, you still have a chance to recover the Mac keynote file with our tips.
