NetBeans 7 - Deletes my files!

When I saw that NetBeans 7 was ready for download, I anxiously upgraded. At first it's new features appeared to be great until I suddenly realized that files on my server were being deleted...

Problem:
NetBeans would go to download my web site from the server to the local hard drive. After this process was complete, I found several files on my server had disappeared. I restored them via subversion (thank goodness, I am using versioning). I ran this test several more times to see if I could find correlations to what was deleted, however the problem seemed to select files at random.

Solution:

Returned to NetBeans 6.9.1 for now. I sure hope they fix these issues soon. I have really enjoyed the new features:
