Make sure all office software is shut down prior to following these steps.

1. Click Start.
2. Type in TEMP into the text field.
3. Select files/folders in the temp folder (CTRL + A) and hold the SHIFT key then click DELETE. It will then prompt you with a warning to permanently delete these files. Click yes to confirm this.
4. Relaunch Word.

Alternatively,  for recovery word file, you can upload the file here https://onlinefile.repair/en/word.html and than to reopen it.
