toddle off to try to help someone else find the [Any] key as best I can, and
you ... well, I think you have some colors to play with now g.

at your response. If the idea was, as you thought, to retrieve a document,
I have actually been able to retrieve a prior document by turning the
computer off quickly (as soon as you realize what you've done), without
shutting it down. If you're lucky, when the computer is booted up normally
again, Excel will recover the last autosaved version which can be renamed.

Interesting answer, and shows how questions here often get interpreted in
different ways.

I looked at the question and saw a request to 'retrieve' a version without
changes after it had been saved with those changes.

You looked at it and saw it a different way: how to get rid of an unwanted
copy of a file.

Surely one of us hit the mark! ... then again, maybe not - there might be a
3rd way of interpreting the question...

You could delete it.

Basically you can't, unless you have a backup copy of the file. Saved is
saved.
