Unreal Engine just deleted all of my content in my content folder and I cannot recover it.

I was having a peculiar issue where the engine would stop loading around 75% and it would just sit there doing nothing until I killed the process. I did some research and thought this was caused by some C++ circular dependency so I did some code edits, deleted the binary folder and rebuilt the project, but now all of my game content is gone. Everything in the content folder. I have most of the models and other material on another hard drive, but all of my blueprints, levels and UE specific content are all gone. File recovery software isn’t showing that they were deleted. What the hell do I do?
