Well, it actually didnt delete it, it just replaced everything with zeros. Has this ever happened to anyone? Luckily I have backups, but its still annoying.

Occassionally it replaces the first byte of the file with zero. I fix it by opening it in a binary-safe text editor and replacing the first byte with "F" and it works again. I have no idea what causes it - maybe using quicksaves in wrong order.
