Re: [libreoffice-users] Lost files

Nick,

LibreOffice would not have deleted any document, spreadsheet, etc files
that you created. There aren't even options on the menus to perform those
actions. Same for the LibreOffice installer, if a new version was recently
installed.

I have read recently of some Microsoft Windows updates causing loss of data.

My guess would be one of the following caused file deletion:
- a faulty Windows update
- someone inadvertently or purposefully deleting files

If you have backups my recommendation is restore from backup.
If no backup and you're using Windows
* check the Trash to see if the files are there. If found recover from Trash
* try a file recovery tool, i.e. Windows File Recovery,

from Microsoft. Other tools from other vendors are available
