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
I have been using Libreoffice for a number of years with good success and have
created many files.
Today many off those files are missing/lost and no longer show on my computer.
Multipule files were saved in folders now some of those folders are now empty
other folders have some files missing.
