I was cleaning up my desktop, and I created a new folder and was going to just drag everything into it. I selected everything, dragged and WHOA! All of my original files were GONE and only alias's were left. I search and the originals aren't found, I open the alias's and they want me to find the originals. The originals are just GONE. And I still don't know what I did!!

Any suggestions other than buying a retrieval software?
 
What version of OS X on what Mac are you using? Have you ever Repaired Permissions with Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)?

Now were the applications in white disk images?
 
I'm using 10.3.9.
No, the apps were not white images.

No, I've never been sure how to use Disk Utility, to be honest. Should I run it?
