HELP DELETION
Please Help!
I spent hours making a quartet, and I saved it. When I opened the file again, only one part was saved. I tried looking in recent but it wasn't there!

It is possible that you tried using "Save As" while you were viewing a part rather than simply using "Save". Using "Save As" will indeed save only the part, and it will prompt you with a file name that has the part name incorporated into it. So if you did a "Save As", and then changed the filename suggestion to give the part the same name as the original score instead of the name that is suggested, then you should have received a warning that you were about to overwrite the original file. If you ignored that warning and saved over the file anyhow, then I'm afraid is gone. But the backup may indeed be useful.
In the future, be sure to use "Save", not "Save As", if your intend is to save the full score and not just the part you are viewing. Or, if you do need to use "Save As" for whatever reaosn, do so while viewing the score, not a part. And be sure not to overwrite the original file.
