I signed in with Google, instead of my email, and my old account is gone.
I have had an account for over 15 years and today I accidentally tried to enter through Google instead of signing in. That erased everything and my files are gone!

It hasnt.... its simply created a new account for you.
Just log out and log in as you usually would and your data will be there :)

Hey fseneriz, when you logged out and then back in, did you login with just the email and password?
If not, can you try and let me know what you see when trying to login?
