[FIXED] How to recover a notebook emptied after kernel crash?

Issue

While working in an ipython notebook, eventually I had to Ctrl+C as the kernel seemed to be halted.

The console gave me a message like:

[NotebookApp] Kernel  shutdown: 5faa86bf-........f6 
[NotebookApp] Kernel  shutdown: 71........22 
[NotebookApp] ....

(I had three notebooks running)

But something went wrong and my notebook file.ipynb is empty (actually only the one I was actively using).

Is there a way to recover that file before it was deleted? Some place where automatically-saved o manually-saved versions are stored?

(Running python 2.7 (Anaconda) in Windows 7)

Solution

You can check in .ipynb_checkpoints/ in the folder where your notebook was for recent enough version of IPython.
