I updated my Photoshop today and all of the actions that I had installed are missing. Any 'assets' that I downloaded from the Library are still there, but everything else is gone. These are things that I paid for and will not be able to get back without buying them again (if I can even track down where I bought them from). Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas on what might have happened or if there is a way to get them back?

That doesn't normally remove the presets folders.
Brittany, what operating system are you using? This page will give you the file locations.
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC 2014
Note, if using Windows you need to make Hidden Files & Folders viewable in File Explorer.
You'll find your actions, brushes etc. in the Presets folder for the previous version. I'm guessing that your computer User Name won't be 'Trevor'

Trevor, where I was going with that question was that if one has access to the old version, it is easy enough to manually save out the various assets (which arguably might be wise to do before upgrading). This reminds me of a recent thread about transferring actions, when there had been no saving of the individual actions and the only actions “file” was the Actions Palette.psp file:
