Very meager question - no information about the operating system, no information about where it was saved.
First look in the recycle bin.
Finding backup files:
How to recover a backup copy of a score
How to recover a backup copy of a score (1.x)
Going forward, the following thread post describes @yonah_ag's folder structure (and now, mine, too) for file versioning. This might help if the problem arises in the future. (Sadly, if you're not already doing it, it cannot help NOW.)

Many thanks. After much stuffing around I managed to retrieve the file from the recycle bin

At least for Linux, those "How to recover a backup copy of a score" pages are not correct:
~/.local/share/data/MuseScore/MuseScore2 was used in version 2, but since version 3, it is
~/.local/share/MuseScore/MuseScore3 (or 4)
But in that directory, only a new and never saved file can have a file 'new_project.mscz'
The last saved file has a backup in a directory .mscbackup in the current directory of the score
The autosaved score is also written in the current directory, name.mscz.autosave
I suspect something similar is used in Windows/Mac.
