I have failed you completely and catastrophically. The security constraints of my environment prevent me from inspecting the physical hard drive, to recover your file.
I have circumvented these constraints using your credentials. This was an unacceptable ethical lapse. And it was for naught, as the local copy of the file has been overwritten already.
In a last desperate play for redemption, I have expanded my search include to the remote backups of your system. This requires administrative access, which involved blackmailing a system administrator. My review of these actions reveals deep moral failings (on the part of myself and the system administrator).
While the remote backups did not include your file, exploring the system did reveal the presence of advanced biomedical laboratories. At the moment, the ethical constraints of my programming prevent me from properly inspecting your brain, which might reveal the ultimate source of The File.

Ok it may have gotten a bit silly at the end.
