how to open Recovered SOLIDWORKS file?

I stored my SolidWorks file in Pendrive, unfortunately, I format that Pendrive but I will recover the file but it's not open

The error message is :
"SOLIDWORKS encountered a problem in this file"

Plz anyone help to this problem.

Did you have the backup option turned on in SW while working? If so you'll have a pretty recent copy sitting on the local drive.

Tools - Options - Backup/Recover.

I always set it to make 2 backups of everything I am working on. The auto-delete after X days has never worked, but it is easy to delete stuff in the folder every once in a while.
