Various Appdata keeps being wiped

I am having an issue where random folders in my AppData folder keeps wiping themselves clean, thus creating a new folder when I startup that program.

Like notepad++ for example, I would lose all my tabbed text documents, and all of my saved dictionary words.

Usually I can just restore a previous version to get it back, but I am having to do this a lot on various folders for various programs. and it is getting rather old to have to keep doing this.

This usually happens after a computer restart is when the folders(s) get wiped.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Hi SF,

First thoughts tune-up/cleaning utility, defaults include such files/folders.
AV's are also going down the clean-up route.
