Description of bug

I opened the MultiMC launcher and literally all of my instances except a single instance were completely deleted. I had 10+ instances and the one that wasn't deleted also had all of its mods and resource packs deleted as well (interestingly, not shaders, worlds, servers, or screenshots though). I have also not played this instance recently. I have no memory of updating MultiMC recently, and I had played on one of the deleted instances less than a week ago. I am honestly astounded by how this could possibly happen. It is just so bizarre. I saw one other mention of a similar issue on Mac of mass deletions through other causes a month ago, but no solution was given. If this is a Mac-specific issue, please be aware and provide some sort of fix or warning for Mac users. Deleting worlds/instances is a major issue that can destroy years of hard work. Luckily, I have a backup of my forever world from a few months ago, but I have lost pretty much everything else from the last 6 years, at least. I have no idea of a reason for this issue so I'm not sure how much help I can be.
