Make sure you don't have a backup copy of the document in question.  Sometimes you can find a backup copy in the 
same directory in which the document existed but with a punctuation mark as the first character like a dollar sign or 
underscore.  This generally puts the backup document near the beginning of the folder's file list.

Best regards,
