How can I restore a deleted tax return?

I accidentally deleted the file after filing it.  I saved a .pdf file, but cannot find it.

@cmjkosch did you compete your 2019 tax return in the online program or did you use the cd/windows version of TurboTax?

I think it was the cd version I purchased last yr from costco. What I did was I entered another div 1099 that I forgot to enter last yr. I entered it into my already filed return before I realized I needed to file a amended return so I went to that info and tried to delete it but when I opened that page of return and clicked delete it deleted the whole 2019 file

A couple of places you can check for your deleted file. You can check your trash bin on your computer. You can also see if the tax file saved somewhere on your hard drive as well. Please let us know if this helps.
