How to view old versions of Turbotax after desktop application was deleted?

I have used the desktop version of Turbotax for well over 10 years now.

 

I would usually save both turbotax file and a pdf of the return was to my hard drive.

 

Assuming I would have no use to use the actual Turbotax desktop application/software for any years before 2018, I deleted the desktop applications/software for all years prior to that.

 

Recently, I wanted to go look at a particular return for 2013 & 2014, and I just discovered that I did not save a pdf for that particular return for those years (but I do have the turbotax file).

 

Is there anyway for me to now view those turbotax files? Can I get the old software back?

If you filed using the desktop versions, Turbo Tax will not have any copy of your prior-year return.
