Teresa, When you created your new book and account heirarchy you have to save the file to do that so it will be on your disk somewhere. You just need to find where in your files it was saved. It will have the name <filename>.gnucash where <filename> is the name you originally gave it. It will also have in the same directory, backup and log files with the format: <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.gnucash <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.log where <timestamp> is a string with format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
If you main data file truly has no data in it then the backups may be your saviour as you can open a previous backup and then import the log files created after that if necessary There is in the Edit->Preferences General tab a preference for an autosave time. Setting this means any work is automatically saved to your file. I generally create a directory for each book to contain the gnucash data file and its backup and log files so they are all kept together and not mixed up with other files. You can also set how many of the log and backup files are retained in the preferences.
