What is also odd is that no space has been freed up. There is over a terabyte of data missing and it is not reflected in the free space.

Now looking at the logs, I see that 4 this morning my account was deleted. I wasn't awake at 4am and no one else has access to the NAS. I don't know why the account would have been deleted. Are the files moved and stored anywhere when an account is deleted. Why did it get deleted?

Here is the log for someone to look at. You can see that the account cirillo.k@gmail.com was deleted at 4:09am. I see no reason as to why it was deleted.

The same thing happened to me at 5:00am this morning inexplicably. This is a disaster, been trying to find any way to get it back but nothing has helped. No information out there. I was also sleeping at 5am so I didn't delete it. Netgear has some explaining to do.

Data from deleted home folders is unrecoverable. You will need to restore that data from backup.
We have been investigating what's happened and hope to have an update to share soon.
