title: TFS deleted my files when changing the mapping
body: <p>I <em>had</em> quite a big solution with a lot of code here. Because of some issues with TFS I wanted to create a new 'clean' repository. I removed the mapping to the old repository, and tried creating a new mapping. This resulted in an error that there already was a mapping to my solution. I went to the <code>Source Control Explorer</code> -> <code>Workspaces</code> and deleted the mapping to my solution there. After that I was able to map my new repository to my solution.</p>
  
  <p>But when I checked my hard disk I almost had a heart attack: TFS deleted ALL my code files! The directories and dependencies were still there, but all my project files, my solution file and all of the code was gone!</p>
  
  <p>Please StackOverflow, help me out here! This is a LOT of work that is now gone and I really desperately need it back :(</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I'm currently trying to recover my files with a couple of file recovery tools (like Recuva), but none of them can find any deleted changes. But the files are really gone, Windows search doesn't find them, and they aren't hidden either. Can anyone tell me why this is? Are the files still on my SSD then?</p>
