Google Cloud VM Files Deleted after Restart
I've restarted my VM instance and found that all of my files are deleted. My VM has a 10 GB SSD persistent boost disk and an additional 50GB SSD persistent disk. Do VM's only save files within the current session?
Thanks!

Disks and their contents are persistent. Review the console log to see what happened on restart:gcloud compute instances get-serial-port-output --zone us-east4-c INSTANCE_NAME > console.log

Google does not delete data upon restart. Be sure the disk containing your data is mounted. Perhaps you restarted after manually mounting & the disk is no longer mounted. You may have also been using the cloud shell instead of your VM which "After the instance is terminated, any modifications that you made to it outside your $HOME are lost." As per John Hanley's comment, you should also check the console log to see what happened on restart. Lastly, be sure you don't have any start-up scripts that may have deleted data.
