First off this is about Mass Effect 3 savegames, so this is not an importing question.
After purchasing the new Citadel DLC I had decided to check up on how far through my second and final ME3 playthough was only to find out it was missing. I checked the C:\Users\[my name]\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3 folder only to find my saves missing.
The only interaction I've had with Origin and ME3 is the occasional game of multiplayer and I had a friend log log on and play ME3 from his account.
If this wasnt the cause then I may have just deleted the savegame from the in-game menu but I still can't find out where deleted savegames go.
I'm afraid, the friend who logged on clicked "overwrite local files" when he logged in with his Origin credentials and overwrote the files on your PC. I'm not sure if you can still recover them from the Origin cloud as those files may have been overwritten with the - now non-existing - local ones, too. You could try the usual unerase-programs to see if something can be recovered from your local hard drive.
