Where did my Sound Recorder file go?? Windows 8.1

I've looked at the various answers to this and found the place you're supposed to be able to drill down to find them C/users/etc etc etc to recordings and the folder says its empty. Now, when I first went to look for the files over several days before I found these directions, although I couldn't find them, when I opened the sound recorder, it was still there. Now I have nothing. Although I know it was saved.
