I was reading them with KOReader. I intentionally put them into a directory with a name that starts with a dot, so that Nickel won't index them. At some point a couple months ago, Nickel started indexing them. I couldn't be bothered to fix it (since I don't use Nickel for much these days except Pocket) so I left it alone, until now.

Yes, the files themselves were deleted from storage. It didn't touch file formats that Nickel doesn't index or the directory structure. Interestingly, this made KOReader repeatedly panic on launch, since it was set to "open last file" and the entire history was pointing at files that didn't exist.
