Hope you still got a backup of the database so you can restore a previous version....
Always verify what node is being deleted and make sure to explicitly click the node before you right-click to get the context menu to delete the node. Also check whether the page name on the javascript popup is the name of the node you wish to delete!
It's not much of an answer, but more or less an advice to keep in mind...
There is a bug in the tree/umbraco that deletes the top level node of a given tree under certain situations.
This has happened to us several times on live sites, and is a pretty serious issue. As you notice, nodes deleted often don't go into the recycle bin and I've noticed that even the confirm dialogue shows the wrong node name. It goes like this
All nodes deleted when deleted one
We had a pretty much complete site when we where going to delete one of the nodes reloaded the tree and the complete site was gone.
In the recyclebin i can only find nodes that we had deleted before and those nodes seem to be all that exists in the database.
Im guessing theres nothing we can do to get data back (except reverting from a old backup).
But it woud be nice to know what happend?
Correction. Not the complete site but all the content nodes.
