Disappearing texture files!

[neilking2706]

Recently, I loaded up a saved flight and the a/c I was using, having previously been just fine, was just a black silhouette. On investigation, I found its texture folder was empty. Same thing happened with a couple of AI aircraft. Yesterday, same thing with the (flyable) a/c I was using and at the same time the sim flashed a lot of warnings about some object libraries I'd installed recently. I confess I didn't pay much attention to them and just closed them but when I went to look, I found that the texture and scenery folders of these libraries were empty as well (until now they were working just fine).

 

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Has your antivirus program quarantined them?

Thanks for replying. But no, the a/v hasn't quarantined them.

Check the Recycle Bin immediately, something may have inadvertently deleted those files;  malware, system security, and operator error are all suspect.  If nothing there and you know the folder or file names of any of the missing items, do a system wide search.  If still nothing ....time to reinstall the errant files.

Again, thanks for replying but not in the Recycle Bin and couldn't find a sample of two of the missing files anywhere else they shouldn't be. Have already reloaded them all from the zip of the original download because I always preserve these.
