How to recover a deleted file?

Sorry if I’m drifting into the wrong subforum—this isn't really my specialty...
Does anyone happen to know if there's any way to recover a Word doc after it's been cleared from the Recycle Bin?
I tried running Recuva, but even after a deep scan, it came up empty...
Does that mean it's gone for good—or is there still a glimmer of hope somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, if Recuva didn't pick it up, it means the hard drive already overwrote that space with new data... and once that happens, there's no bringing it back.

That’s exactly what I figured—given how things usually go.
Thanks anyway!
