Various causes: deleted by accident, disk corruption etc

Resolution

Local History can be used to restore your data.

In case the whole project is deleted

1. Recreate a new (empty) project in the exact location of the previous one.
2. Open the project via IDE
3. Right-click on the root folder and select Local history.
4. Restore it using the Local History interface.

Example: In case of disk corruption

(this is an experimental solution and might not work) (this will only work if the idea is on another disk)

1. Use a USB flash
2. Mount it under the label of the corrupted disk
3. Re-create the project in the old location (you may try with root too)
4. Open the project via IDE
5. Right-click on the root folder and select Local history.
6. Restore it using the Local History interface.
