Doing a DEL *.tor should have only deleted files with ".tor" not everything.
What may also be going wrong for you is you shouldn't save everything to the Desktop. Save it in your Documents. Create a folder called Torrents and save Torrents stuff there. That way if you need to do something to your torrents only they are all in one place and it does not affect other things.
They are gone. You will need to run an undelete program to bring them back. Try Recuva works well.
