That can be solved by updating the broken applications. Deleted data is never going to come back unless you have a backup.

"Save/Read X to/from the user documents folder" should be an OS-level function (on Windows, where you expect a desktop user to have a documents folder).

Every time a program calls a deprecated API, the developer who signed the code should get an e-mail.

The API wasn't deprecated when the code was written.
