My recently saved .PSD file is nowhere to be found.

Hello!

I recently saved a few Photoshop files, and had been accessing them using the "Open Recent" menu. Well, a few minutes after I saved, the system crashed, and when I restarted and opened Photoshop, the "Open Recent" list was empty. Then I searched for the files and can't find them anywhere. I've looked by searching the file name in Finder and in Spotlight, and have even done a search for all .psd files, but the recent ones are missing.

If I create a dummy .psd file and save it, it goes to a folder with a string of letters and numbers, but I can't find the path that leads me to where that folder might be. Is there a weird hidden folder that Finder can't detect? I feel like the files must be there somewhere, because they were saved several times before the crash, but where?

Thanks!
