Files have vanished from folders
On my C: drive I have a folder titled Websites where I keep working copies of a few websites.
So in that folder I have sub-folders like Website1, Website2, etc.
Each of those sub-folders Website1, Website2 etc. has a bunch of subfolders like folder1, folder2, folder3 and some files like file1, file2, file3 etc.
The Problem: In one of my websites, all the files in all the folders folder1, folder2, folder3 etc have simply vanished. Those folders are completely empty now.
All the files in the adjacent websites are intact.
I have no idea how this might have happened. I also use GoodSynch to keep a backup on an external hard drive of all the files on my computer, which automatically updates any changes to my files each time I shut down. So naturally, when those files disappeared, GoodSynch thought they had been deleted so now those files are also missing from the external hard drive.
Anyone have an idea how this might occur? Or if the files are possibly just invisible now?
This is very worrisome in that I don't know if other files could just disappear!
I should mention I know that I can restore these files from restore points -- my real concern is trying to understand what could have caused them to disappear.
