I've never used it and don't know exactly what is the combination. Which application do you use it ? Please use the following lists

From there you MAY BE able to recover files using other keys.

First of all, your files a not GONE.  There is no way, using any keyboard shortcut, to remove all your files. Period.

 

Second, if you are unable to see them, then HOW are you looking for your files? And what are you seeing when you look for them?

 

Asking because if all that happened is that you files got hidden, there are utilities you can download and run to return access to those files.
