iI accepted an automatic software update in Mac; it restarted my computer and all files created in the last three days disappeared. Any ideas on how to recover those files?
Thank you!
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Restore them from your Time Machine backup.

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.
