How long has it been since you last accessed the account? If it was idle for more than a year then the account would have been disable/deleted due to inactivity. Signing back in with the same credentials reactivates it as a new, empty account.
Why didn't they announce it?
Is it a way to recover it now ?

Hey forallatlantis, if you didn't receive an email informing you about an upcoming account deletion, the account probably wasn't deleted.
Have you tried searching for the missing files through the search bar at the top right of your "all files" page?
What did you see in the events page that Rich suggested?
