I was in a folder with well over a hundred files. I started typing to search for a file. Somehow I hit a key combination that deleted hundreds of files in the folder, subfolders and other subfolders one level up from where I was. A small window opened and I saw filenames, larger than 1 GB, flying by at a speed I had never seen. Folders were not deleted. Once I got the process canceled I realized my loss. The files are not in any trash, I do not see where they may have moved - so I assumed they were deleted and nowhere to be restored. I do have backups, but that is a slow process for how much I lost.
Any ideas what key combination I may have hit accidentally? Are my files hidden somewhere?
Decades ago I was convinced that at any given time any given key combination could create any unknown results, good or bad. I have proven myself to be correct.

Sorry, but deletions from whatever key combination
will never start without any confirmation.
Also, normal default is to delete into the recycle bin.
If you don't have this, take your backup and restore the files.

Thanks for the reply. What happen just does not fit the normal "rules". I can see accidentally hitting delete and accidentally confirming. But, to delete or move hundreds of files without highlighting anything but possibly one file in the present folder, the present subfolders and folders above the present folder in the root folder without deleting the folders, just the files - I believe is not possible to do intentionally.

Well, I had this somewhat similar issue https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=37689 - and recently it kind of it manifested to me itself again
