I have a real serious problem. After sorting out some files I emptied my trash. Then, to my shock, I discovered there are a lot more folders missing than I trashed. And they are from my external hard drive! Files I didn't even touch for a long time! My whole folder named "Photography" was empty. It contained a few years of photos that I was just about to backup! I'm sure I didn't trash it. Anyone familiar with this problem? And knows how I can recover these files? And how can I prevent this from happening again?

Thanks so much in advance for any help, tips or suggestions.
