HELP I lost my creative cloud files

Question

Hello,I've been using Adobe for 3+ years. Recently I spent some times in between jobs, so I didn't have any license anymore. Now I have a new one, but in the meantime it seems like all of the files I created since the beginning have been deleted, I can't find them even though CC says my libraries are synced. Is there a way to get them back?

This won't help the original person with lost files, but For anyone else reading this...
You should always have a local copy of all files, including account information
Make a text file with your account information and copy it + files to an external device
If you don't have space on your computer drive use an external drive for files
