After uploading my mod and then closing workbench, my project folder has been completely emptied. Every time I have published a new version, the directory (and everything in it) gets forced into read-only mode and I have to clone all the files into a new directory. This time, it just deleted everything in the directory. Is there a fix for this and is there any way I can get my files back?

The only thing I've done differently with this mod is that I once had to abort publishing it and I also once changed the windows directory name.
