Convert my tmp file to pptx

Hello,

I accidentally overwrote my PowerPoint presentation that I spent 5 days creating.
I found some temporary files ".tmp" but I can't open them with PowerPoint. I've scoured the forums but none of the solutions worked:
- changing the file extension from temp to pptx and trying to open it with PowerPoint
- no previous versions of my file
- nothing in PowerPoint's saved "cache" files

It's not a file named "pptxxxx.tmp"; here is the name of the file:
so I don't know if it's a valid temporary PowerPoint file
003cba4b-4035-45bc-b079-d9e79d168bb0.tmp

Thank you very much for your help.

    Hello
    We do not "transform" a tmp file into a pptx or something else...
    We simply change the tmp extension to pptx and pray that it works ;-)
    See you later

    If this answer helped you: a little thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)

      Sorry, I used the wrong terms.
      Indeed, that’s what I did, and my prayer wasn’t strong enough because it didn’t work.
      PowerPoint is trying to repair it and eventually tells me that it cannot read the file.
      Thank you for your response.

    Hello
    Unfortunately, this has happened to all of us at least once.
    You can also change the auto-save delay in the recording window (or the File menu, Options, Save) under "Tools", "Save Options"...
    See you!
