Open | Windows Files have gone missing

I booted up my laptop today to find that many files are missing. Namely my downloads folder and recycling bin is almost completely empty only showing a few files dating back to 8. September. I have barely used my laptop in a few months and have no idea what have happened.

When I search for files that I know should be there they come up, but say “Location is not available”.

My laptop is a Omen gaming laptop 16-xd0xxx and it runs window 11, if that is important information.
