So I tried restoring each folder individually, and still huge amounts are gone, particularly "my pictures" and "my documents".

    Welcome to the forum
    Try using RECUVA to undelete your files:

    With a little effort. do a scan for viruses,malware & trojan horses.
    Good luck

    After much deliberation and testing, I have figured it out. The folders and their contents became hidden. Of course I now have to undhide all of them. But it is resolved so far!

    Glad to see your problem solved, but you said that a huge amount of data was gone, then you said that this data was hidden. If you didn't hide those data who did -it?
    So, scan your somputer for viruses,malware and others.
    Good luck.
