What disappeared are links and three files. The links are recreatable, although they would be better placed in user space rather than under /. Of the three files, the *bz2 appears to be part of a Gentoo release, the second a grub configuration backup - not needed, and the last a log file. While the locaton of these files and links might be an idiosyncrasy of the Linux distribution you are using, most distributions are inherently more careful in configuration. You should get into the habit of creating a user with more limited scope than root and learn to use "su" and "sudo" if you need super-user rights. Working from root could seriously imperil your system and your work's integrity.
