I lost some work in calc and by mistake I clicked discard recovery files.
After googling, I’ve found that locations should be ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup and maybe ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/temp.
Both are empty.
I have recovered all data from my /home partition using photorec. There is tons of stuff, now I need to find what extension do these recovery files have?

It doesn’t really help. Like I said in question I have looked in those folders and they are empty. I have recovered entire home folder and it’s huge without indicator of what folder the files were in. It is not what I asked for. I just need to know the extension.
If you read it you will see it tells you what the backup, AutoRecovery and temporary files are named with their extensions, and exactly where they are located. It is based on Writer but will be the same for Calc.
