Emacs does not normally delete that file, so it must have been
something or someone else.
People may wish to set the HOME environment variable to some safe,
backed-up, directory, and put the .emacs file into that directory.
>From within Emacs, C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET opens the file that Emacs
will load during startup. This can be used to check whether the
environment variable is set properly, for example.
