Just get her to restore from her most recent backup. She does have a backup, doesn't she? If she didn't bother to backup, she doesn't have much right to be upset.

Sorry, I 100% disagree with that. As a normal non geek user, she had every reason to think she did have a backup.

Smug experts are of no use to any one, except themselves.

Well at least she's learnt something.
Maybe one day you'll learn something too.

That it's bad form to be gleeful over others misery. Some people don't care about losing a bunch of files, for others it is a disaster. Yes, she should have had back-ups. But that's no reason to be smug.

Looking forward to your call for help about something.
