Which version of Limewire are you using? The latest model, for mac at any rate thankfully does not afaik allow this mistake. It sounds like you have an older model and yes I'm afraid this option deletes files from iTunes and your hard drive. If you have windows xp I believe it is possible to retrieve the files and a file recovery progrmme can be used which MIGHT work. It does depend how long ago this happenned. The titles will remain in iTunes beside an explanation mark meaning that the files cannot be found. This is bad luck and I would like some one to confirm if this can still happen with the lates windows models of LW or not. Let us know yu need more information
