Guys I deleted everything in my Silkcoin folder EXCEPT wallet.dat as my wallet kept showing out of sync but now when I reopen it I show 0 coins and that is still not synced but it is syncing on the small icon. Have I lost my coins even though I kept the wallet.dat??
You don't have to worry you haven't lost your coins. Your wallet is still syncing. Once it syncs to the block when you deposited those coins into your wallet, then it will appear once again.
