Files lost by encfs

I recently used the software encfs in my ubuntu 18.04 laptop. I created a new stash using the same software in my desktop. I would like to list the steps.... * I created a new stash (using green plus) in my desktop with same name (Desktop) and a password. * The newly mounted folder (looked like a drive) hadn't any folder or files. * Later I removed the stash using the option (red minus) in encfs. * I thought it would only remove the newly created empty folder. * Accidentally, I lost my desktop folder (with entire files in it). * Then home folder acts like the desktop. * I searched in home for lost files, but found none. * It didn't affect any files in home folder other than desktop. Kindly please help me to retrieve my lost files. How can I retrieve them? Please help. Thank you.
