No, rebooting did not cause anything to be deleted. Your screenshot didn't come through, but your external drive comment leads me to guess that you were running GnuCash from the mounted disk image. You didn't need to re-download it, you could remount it by double-clicking on Gnucash-Intel-4.4-1.dmg in your Downloads folder.

But GnuCash doesn't work all that well from the dmg (no mac application does) so you're supposed to drag it from there to the Applications folder before running it. Once you've done that you can eject the disk image (control click and select eject or use the eject symbol next to the disk image name in Finder's sidebar).
