Why was my Minecraft world deleted without me doing anything?
My friends and I have been playing on a specific world for ages, and I had it open in class. The world was open and I stepped away for no longer than 10 minutes and the world was closed and gone, I found it in the files, but I don't know what to do with it. Could the world have been deleted because the laptop closed whilst it was open?

Worlds disappearing or becoming corrupt while rare, does happen. In future I would recommend that you export your world file (instructions here).
Couple of things you can try:
First, What I've done in the past is copy the world files in the location you have found them in (C:\Users\(USERNAME)\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Education Edition\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds), signed into the computer with another account and then copy the world files into the same locations. When I start Minecraft, they should appear in the View my worlds section. There's a chance it may appear again, but I cannot guarantee it.
Another option:
- sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world
- open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
- open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close the file and move to the next step
- copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
- open the folder in this new location, select all of the files in the directory, right click and then select "Send to Compressed (zipped) folder"
- A new file with extension ".zip" will show up in this folder. Move this .zip file to the desktop, or another convenient location
- Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld" - WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizeable to you
- Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education Edition will launch
Hope this helps!
