Considering Disk Cleanup should not touch anything in your \Users\Documents folders, I'm not sure exactly what happened. What actually did it delete, and where were those files?

[anonymous_user]

it deleted almost every file and folder from my F: drive. files deleted ranged from installers to mp3s to documents to videos etc.

[cluberti]

Was that your documents folder, or just a drive you use for those types of files?

[kartel]

I use my disk cleanup and never had a problem.

Hmm sounds strange, but thanks for the heads up! I'll double check each time i run cleanup from now on.

@cluberti - it is just my external drive.

btw this happened when i ran disk cleanup for my F: drive, but as i said, i also had similar results when i ran it for my C: drive.

@BoardBabe - this problem could be just my system but hopefully this wont happen to others.
