EDIT: i did as you said and I installed the mycelium application. By some chance, it has found the wallet :/
it was pocket change wallet.. so never bothered for a physical back up ....

partly my fault then.
Microsfot NEVER NEVER DID THAT TO ME.
Imagine you install a Windows update and you find applications and application data DELETED. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I HATE GOOGLE.
I lost nearly all my bloody applications. 6 months of installations and search.
