Profile Manager deleted all of my files - not just the profile. Any tips on what happened and how to resolve?

I created a profile with Profile Manager. It dumped a lot of files into the directory that I selected. At that point I wanted to delete the profile and the associated files. When I selected the Delete Profile and Delete Files option it delete all files and folders in the directory - not just the profile files. It offered no warning that it was going to delete more than the profile files. Why did it do this and is there a way to recover the missing files? OS = Windows 7.

You could try a utility like the following, but there's no guarantee of full recovery.

Try to avoid making any changes to the hard drive before running that utility, and run it from external media (e.g., USB flash drive or CD) if possible.

You should never select a folder to be used as profile folder that already has files in it.
You should always choose a new and empty folder because you can use the Profile Manager to take up an existing profile by choosing the location.
Removing the profile and opting to delete the files will remove all the files in that folder and remove the folder as well, so be cautious with doing that.
