Get the replaced File
My files got replaced by a blank file when I changed the name of the chapter to another name. Is there any way that I can retrieve the old files back. It has many contents in it. Please someone help

Get the replaced File
Furthermore this is off topic because not related to LaTeX (even if it has happened when working with it). Restoring deleted files is a matter of your OS. Overwritten files are mostly lost forever.
