Seems like a bug

You done collect virus from all those Russian porn websites.

Use Smadav to run a full scan and fix issues.

@BluntCrazeMan:

You're currently logged-in using a temporary profile apparently. (Your windows notification bar should be showing you that)
Whatever you save will of course not live beyond that current log-on session. They will be deleted once you shut down.

FIX:

If it's a non-domain computer, (I mean your own personal machine that isn't joined to Active Directory on any corporate domain), the first and most elementary step would be to log in in "Safe Mode" and then shut down the PC (don't restart).
Put it back on and then log in normally to see it it ceases to register a temporary profile for you.

If that doesn't work, try to change your sign-in method. (Try PIN for instance instead of a password).

If the preceding steps don't work, then search for and launch "regedit.msc" from the search bar on your desktop, right-click and run it as an Administrator and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionProfileList"., Once there, check for a folder bearing '"ProfileImagePath" directing to "C:\Users" and completely yank it off. (I assume you have only one profile besides the default local admin account)

NB: If your PC is on a corporate domain (and joined to AD), contact your Windows Server Administrator.
It should take him/her less than a minute to fix that. (by just disabling and re-enabling the account)

One of these should fix your issue if there's no village intervention.

You can try to create a new user and move your workload there. If it’s windows, simply setup a new user either from control panel under user accounts/ create new user, but for newer windows you can go under settings/user/ add user. If that doesn’t work, you can try Cmd, press your windows button, search ‘cmd’ short for command prompt, right click, select run as administrator, you should get a prompt to do this, press yes and you should see cli interface, from there you can use the net user command to add a new user. Do this by pressing “net user /add [username] [password]” without the quotes obviously. The username and password in brackets, you should input your desired username, desired password if you wish. Then after doing that, you can add the user as administrator by pressing ‘net localgroup administrators [username] /add’ without the quotes as well. The username in bracket will also be the username you just added. When done restart your computer and select the new user. It may take a few minutes and you should be all setup… copy a file into your desktop while logged in to your new user account and restart your laptop to test if your files are retained or not… if not, you may need to do a reinstall of your o.s. And if this is for a different operating system, the following steps may not work or be available.

Good Evening.
Whenever I save any file on my system, be it in the “Documents Folder”, or on the “Desktop” space, or even if I create a new folder directly inside the “Local Disk - C” Drive space and save the file there, once I put the system off and put it on again, everything I saved on the system would just be wiped off, and I won't see them again..
Even if I run a search for such files on the whole of the system, I won't see any traces that such files existed on the system, not even in the recycle bin.

(Although, any files that I deleted by myself before I put the system off would still be there in the recycle bin).
..
..
NOTE: I don't have the Deep-Freeze Software on my system.
..
..
I also discovered something else...
..
When I clicked on the “Users” folder inside the LOCAL DISK Folder, I discovered that a new temporary “User” folder is always created for me whenever I sign-in, and that the current temporary “user” folder, which stands for the user that is currently signed-in, is the only folder that contains readable items... All other earlier numerous temporary “user” folders, which represented all those times that I logged in earlier (which had wiped out), all contained encrypted files which cannot be opened by any app or software, and they are saved in hidden folders inside those earlier temporary “user” folders.
..
Please, is there any way I can correct this anomaly??

Although, I don't have any antivirus on the system yet.
