Why is my timeline replaced with a dB panel? How do I change it back?

A few days ago, I was working on a project for class, but I accidentally clicked on the x button for the timeline, when I was trying to minimize it (it was enlarged because I also clicked a wrong button *sigh*). In turn, I accidentally deleted my whole project. I just redid it, but for some reason it left me with this sort of decibel panel and I don't know why. How do I change it back to my regular timeline? 

Note: This is only shown under the Editing tab, but the other tabs still have my timeline. 

Please let me know what I can do to fix it. Thank you.

Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

It worked! It was driving me insane not being able to use a longer timeline when editing. Thank you!

No, your project were never deleted. What happened is that you closed the Timeline but it can be re-opened by double clicking on it´s icon in the Project panel. If you use the default Icon View you can just double click it to open it.

Thanks. I already re-did the project, but I'll definitely keep this in my mind if happens to me again.
