They may have disappeared from your home screen, though. The recent files list on your home screen is just a convenience to let you pick up where you left off before lunch. It is not a file browser that actually keeps track of the files. It's just a dead list stored in your preferences. It doesn't get updated.
They will still be on disk. You have to search for them.
Pay attention to where you save, and use a file browser like Finder or Bridge to organize your files and folders. Then they don't disappear the next time.
Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's how it works. We can't know where your files are.
I had my own "Photoshop ate my files"-moment just two days ago. Reopening files I had been working on, they had suddenly mysteriously "reverted" to a much earlier state, and a full days work seemingly lost.
If I didn't know better, I would have screamed murder.
Digging a bit deeper, of course, the files were all there and fully up to date. They were just in a different folder. Backtracking my moves on that day led me straight to them.
This is a true story, I'm not making it up for rhetorical purposes.
