Issue with my game files

When I went to upload my game today, I saw that all my downloads were missing. Thankfully, I have a backup. I filled my downloads folder, and my saves are missing. But they're not missing. They're still in my user profile stuff. So, I started a new game, quit, and searched for Slot_00000001 on my computer, and it doesn't exist! What is happening? How can I fix this? Thank you!
