First he should have backup. No real pro has no backup, especially on hardware prone to failure with age.
Second, file recovery utilities could recover most if the data.
Third valuation of content is so subjective.
And forth, software worked as designed. Putting cache in same folder as data is just poor decision making. App purged cache folder per design. You don't cache with the actual data. I always assumed that software would purge folder I tell system is cache.
The data wasn't in the cache folder, he relocated the cache folder to the same drive as the data. It shouldn't be deleting anything outside of the cache folder itself.
