    Somehow we have lost an entire folder on the hard drive in Windows 7. It should have been in My Documents. It never appeared in the Recycle Bin so I know it wasn't deleted. I searched for it in Search Programs and Files. Fortunately it had been backed on both a DVD and flash drive. How could this have happened?

    If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidentally modified or deleted a file, you can restore it from a backup (if you're using Windows backup) or you can try to restore it from a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. Previous versions are sometimes referred to as shadow copies.

    See if this link helps you find your folder.
