Office 365 School Account: Old Word Docs
Today is 9/2/21 and I wanted to see some notes I had done in Word (Office 365 school account) last year during Fall 2020 but I can't find them (I did not delete them). Do old files get deleted over a certain amount of time if not accessed? If they do, how do I retrieve them?

Where did you save the document? In local PC or online?
I suggest you go to Office Home and check if you can find the Word documents:Please be a bit more precise to explain your problem or you can upload a screenshot so that I can get more accurate solutions to this problem. I’m glad to help and follow up your reply.
