Howdy,
Just to verify, what option did you change in Advanced Options -- was it the "Temporary files directory" option?

i put there as /root
all folders disapperad from root directory
Howdy,
Gotcha... yeah that option is looking for a temp directory to use.
It's not expecting it to be a directory containing files you need, and will clean up files in that dir, since temp dirs typically only contain temp files.
In the future, you'd want to use something like /root/my_tmp_dir, rather /root.
I'll talk to Joe and Jamie, to see if maybe there's a way to add some additional sanity checks when selecting a directory that already contains files.
However, what you're seeing there is currently the expected behavior, and there's unfortunately no way to get those files/folders back, they're all deleted -- you'd need to restore those from a backup.
