Re-add the deleted files, maybe?

It's a good lesson to learn from if you don't have a backup ;)

Subversion, CVS, Mercurial, GIT... you should really use one of these as a way to keep backups.

Then you would have to compare against a previous version and see what is "missing". From the screenshot it looks like some sort of object. Take a look through your console.log file and see what messages it tells you about missing artwork.

Any of the version(ing) control systems that Tony mentioned would greatly ease your ability to "roll-back" any bad or inadvertent changes that you've made. And even without it it's always a good idea to keep back ups in between changes.

Just don't let it frustrate you. We've all faced and done similar things. I lost about a year and half worth of work 6 months ago. I now make sure I keep redundant copies. Nowadays I keep hourly (almost) backups of a testing branch from a working copy that isn't even on the same machine as the repository itself.
