1. I've been using Beta3 for houndreds of hours allready, creating tons of
different project, and
    I don't think there's any chanse in the world theese files were deleted
by KDevelop.

2. Again as someone said in a previous mail yesterday.. Even though I don't
think the files were
    deleted by KDevelop, the word "BETA" still has it's meaning, which is,
you can't come complaining
    to the developers if something goes wrong, as you could have done if it
had been a stable release.

3. I don't know how you deleted theese files, pherhaps you forgot what
rm -rf does, but anyways, I don't
    think there's any good way to restore them if they are erased from the
disc.. If you have plenty of spare
    time, you can allways use 'dd' to create a whole file from the disc, and
search through the whole file
    'more' to find textstrings and other usefull stuff..

4. Don't blame the KDevelop staff for this rude mail, I'm just an external
pain in the ass :)
