Lost profile and changes on my Cloud Service VM

We have a cloud service our in Azure-Land. Whenever it comes time to push a new code release, we publish the files to a local disk, remote into the cloud service's VM instance and "copy\paste" the files into the appropriate IIS root, and we've been doing it this way for about a year now.

Today I logged into my VM to publish some changes and noticed 2 odd things:

  1. My desktop profile was gone. Any files\folders I had stored from previous releases and such were missing, all I had was a recycling bin and nothing more
  2. My web.config changes from previous releases were gone. This item in particular was the scariest aspect to me.. I had added some changes to my config over the past month, and today my config was as if it was never touched.

Does anything happen with Azure storage, etc. with these cloud service instances? Do apps migrate over time? Does it have anything to do with windows update schedules? Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Thanks in advance!
