Let’s explore what a Word ASD file is.

Microsoft Word Recovery files are files with a .asd extension that are created automatically with the primary Word files. If the Word program fails or shuts down unexpectedly, losing data or the primary file, it is utilized to recover the original file. All document file formats, including DOC and DOCX, can be saved by Microsoft Word as auto-recovery files. The primary document file and the Microsoft Word Auto-Recovery files are both saved on disc in binary file format. Usually, these are stored on disk as obscure files with fictitious names. To suit the needs of recovering at any time, all open files are actively and sporadically saved to disc. If your Word document quits without warning, you can double-click it or open Microsoft Word, and the program will prompt you to recover the file, which you can save with its original name and extension.
