Something doesn't make sense here. Brasero should not have deleted your
files & in testing I can't reproduce. Nor can I find any related bugs in
launchpad reporting a similar issue.

Even deleting files from the current project states:

Do you really want to empty the current project?

Emptying a project will remove all files already added. All the work
will be lost. Note that files will not be deleted from their own
location, just no longer listed here.

So, are you _sure_ that the 24Gb of files that you are missing are
really missing? Please open Nautilus (Places|Home) and see if the
files/folders are actually still there. Also, it's helpful if you
provided more details on: 1) where the files were, and 2) how you
accessed them previously.

Regarding your trash folder; what specific files are you referring to?
Are they related to the files that you were accessing in Brasero?
Regardless, you can restore the files to their original location by
double-clicking the trash bin (or right-clicking & selecting 'Open
Trash'. The single-click on a file in the bin and select 'Edit|Restore'
and that will restore the file to it's original location.

No clue what the "four disks at the bottm of the toolbar" are. Can you
detail further? Also please advise what version of Ubuntu you are using
and which desktop (KDE or Gnome, etc).
