DVDA Overwrote all my sub-folders

I just prepared a DVDA project into a sub-folder on my hard drive. When I looked into the sub-folder, the Audio-TS and Video-TS folders were there, but it had deleted or overwritten about 12 other sub-folders and the files in them. Anyone ever experience this? If so, any chance of rescuing them??? I haven't shut off my computer, but they're not in the Recycle Bin.

Edit: all set. I was able to recover all the files with data recovery software. Lesson learned, though.

I have experienced this as well. I now duplicate all of my files and archive them before I burn the disc. I'm not sure why this is happening.

If you render from DVDA into an existing VIDEO_TS folder, & if there are any sub-folders present (i.e. PGCEdit back-ups), DVDA will rename those existing folders using non-standard characters placed in front of the existing folder's name. If a PC doesn't show that non-std character for whatever reason, maybe the folder itself does not appear in Windows Explorer? Like prefacing a folder/file name etc. with "$" to hide it. Anyway, just a guess on something I've not seen nor heard of till now.
