    <p>Hi</p>
    <p>If you have Windows 10 and have activated "Back up using File
      History" (Setting/Update and Security/Backup....) you may have a
      copy of the file.  If your files disappeared for no reasons, I
      would seriously scan your hard drive in case you are seeing
      indications of a drive failier.</p>
    <p>Good Luck</p>
    <p>Nicolas<br>
