Linux ubuntu replaced my files with broken links

Every file in my Save games folders has the same file name as before, but they're only 90btyes or less and type Link (broken). I don't know how the heck this happened, and I've searched my computer to see where these files could possibly be. I did a test save game which saved fine in that folder, and looks good, but all the other files in their folders are all 90 bytes now and all broken links

Any ideas? I tried "restore previous", but evidently that's if you set that up in advance.

This is where one 'link' is pointing to:
/home/bignickel/.local/share/games/star-wars-kotor-2/./saves/000006 - Game5/Screen.tga
