Have you looked in auto-save-directory ? If there's something there, you could try recovering by one of following commands: b* recover-all-files - Do recover-file for all autosave files which are current. b* recover-file - Visit file FILE, but get contents from its last auto-save file. b* recover-session - Recover auto save files from a previous Emacs session.
