Steven.... forgive me as I said im new to all this so my understanding of the program is limited and I admit I don't know how to properly set it up for what I want to do.... but there may be others like me that download MB and actually delete hundreds of files. I was lucky that I was able to restore them with my computers backup and restore section. 

But yes... the 5 folders and files were in the playlist section... not the folders section.  Once I figure out how to add a screenshot to this post I'll explain things better.

Thank you for your explanations, psychoadept. I will try those steps tonight.

Steven, as I haven't explained with screenshots for you to understand me, likewise im not sure what your telling me either.   But trust.... I know whatever I did in the preferences section DID in fact delete my 5 folders and all the files contained within them, which were saved on my desktop! Further... they were not put in the recycle bin.  I think I did explain,  step by step,  what i did in my post above. I'll try to get those screenshots for you to understand.

Ok after much stressing I was able to restore my missing / deleted files last night by going into my computers backup and restore settings.  So all my .mp3 files are back and I've made copies of all five of my folders. Im at work now so I can't screenshot anything but I was able to duplicate the problem again after I got my files back last night.

This is what I did.  

So on my desktop I have a folder called Rodeo songs. In that rodeo songs folder I have 5 other folders with all my .mp3 files.  So I opened MB and clicked on edit preferences,  then the Library tab along the side.  Then at the bottom if the page under the playlist section,  there is a drive path where I can specify the location of my rodeo folder.  When I save that the preferences box closes and takes my back to the main screen in MB. Now on the left side of the screen I am able to see my 5 folders which are in the main rodeo folder on my desktop.  The problem is,  when I click on one of those 5 folders,  nothing happens... meaning it doesn't show any of my ..mp3 files in the center or right side of MB. So... on the left side I'll right click on one if those 5 folders and choose to delete it.  But what I does is it deletes that folder and everything in it on my desktop also. It does not put them in my recycle bin... it totally deletes the folder and everything in it.

The only way I can add my 5 folders and actually see all the ..mp3 files in them is to manually drag each of my 5 folders into the playlist section on the left side of the main screen in MB. It will load all my files at that time but if I add files to one of those folders on my desktop later.... it will not update the playlist in MB.

I will try to get screenshots tonight but I can't right now.

Questions / SERIOUS HELP NEEDED FAST

I need help fast, please.  New user here so I don't know a whole lot about this program yet so I'm not sure what just happened or how to fix it. 

I had over 200 .mp3 songs saved on my desktop in a folder.  In that folder I had 5 other folders where the songs were organized.  When I downloaded MB the other night, I dragged those 5 folders into the playlist side of MB.  Everything was working awesome with no problems.

Now tonight I downloaded some new songs and placed them into those folders on my desktop.  Here's where the problem started.  When I opened MB, those new songs were not showing in my playlist folders.  So I thought I could update the playlist in the "Preferences" under "Library" and then "Playlist" location.  I updated the drive path to my 5  folders.  Well all this did was add another set of those 5 folders to my playlist.  So I had 2 sets of my 5 folders, 1 set was all my files, the other new set didn't do anything when I clicked on them.  So... I right clicked on each of those 5 folders that didn't do anything and deleted them.  My 5 other folders containing my files were still there.  Then I went back to "Preferences" and then "Library" and deleted the drive path that told the MB where my playlist was.  I saved everything and after the "Preferences" box closed, all my 5 folders in my playlist were gone.  AND TO ADD TO IT.... IT DELETED ALL MY FILES ON MY DESKTOP!!!  GONE.... everything is GONE.  The folder on my desktop was called RODEO SONGS.  I still have that folder, but within it I had my 5 folders and they are GONE!!  I checked the recycle bin... not there.  I searched c: drive for .mp3 files and NONE OF MY FILES WERE FOUND!!  What the heck happened???  Over 200 .mp3 files just disappeared.  PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.
