It sounds like your data file might have been deleted.  if so, I'm
afraid that your data is gone.  This would be just like what would
happen if you deleted file containing your word processing document that
had your Thesis..  If you delete the file, your data is gone.  Unless,
of course, you have file backups?

Alas, there is nothing GnuCash (or we) can do to keep your data if your
computer deletes it.

Sorry,
