Lost Files

I need some help. I think I did something stupid.

I thought I would go back and clean up old files that I no longer need. Of the 10 to 15 songs I have recorded most of them were just trial runs, so I just started deleting them. I do not care that they are gone. I had them saved on an internal and external drive as well as another folder on my desktop for easier access. For the three songs that are very important I deleted everything that was not the most recent save in the history folder. Once I had the latest possible save completed, I renamed the songs with a more permanent title. Now, when I open the song, some or all of the individual tracks are now missing! I am trying not to panic. I went into my recycle bin and restored every Studio One file to its original location. Even after restoring the files none of the three important songs are complete, some or all of the individual tracks are listed as missing even though the tracks still show their names. I will admit I have moved what I thought was the last most important save into a different folder. Am I right to assume everything is still there but Studio One just cannot find the location? Does every new save rely on the historical previous versions of the same song? Did renaming the song also confuse the program? Why didn't the last save, save everything instead of just some of the song?
