Windows 10: Word Pad

As I type documents in WordPad, the last document I typed goes into current documents and the last one disappears I suppose into previous. How can I find previous WordPad documents that I have typed from say last year?

How do I change wordpad documents in readable word documents? I downloaded all my documents from my old computer and a lot of them were in word pad and I cannot read them. Just symbols. Can you send me step by step instructions on how to convert please?

nearest. Obviously you are all clever people, but you are all guilty of missing the basic point of the question asked.

Ok, I deleted the item which you rightly said was in Documents Thank you

Going back to word pad,and I find the items still listed!

The important bit now and what I wanted to know.....Double click on the deleted item in word pad and a notice will show Cannot find file

Click Ok in that box and then,and only then will the item be deleted from the file box in word pad

Thanks very much
