Morphology

unfiled = filed (transparent) = un + file + ed

The meaning is clearly derived from 'filed' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

Unfiled is made of un- 'not' and file 'a place to keep papers'. So, unfiled means 'not put into a file', that is, not officially recorded or kept in an organized system.
