I went through the logs as much as I could (there were a lot of errors and warnings), but I was not capable of discerning if a log was related to this issue. I am not skilled enough, and I did not have time to search online for each entry meaning. If you have any pointer to guide me, please advise me.

I agree with your reasoning. Something as strange as this is more likely to be user related. The argument of "I have been doing this for years and never made a mistake" may also be the reason why I could have done a mistake but couldn't notice it, clouded by the reassurance of the habit. I know in one reply I used the terms "I am sure", but yes I can't shake off this possibility.
What is strange is that I did not delete any non-empty folders. It is not like those folders were alphabetically set aside. This seems to require a more conscious action from myself.
And the two times it happened, it affected more than one sub folder at once in the main folder. So it would have required more than a few miss-clicks. This looks more like a script than an user.
This is why I posted this request here. I am still trying to figure out what in my behavior may cause this (and by behavior I also mean the software I installed and configured or interaction among them), but in the case where this is a Windows or hardware issue, there is no way I can logically come up with a solution. So even if it is unlikely, at least with the help of this forum we can rule out that possibility for sure.
