Have you tried this ...The important stuff in root is hidden (prefix '.') so anything that shows without doing ls -a is probably not supposed to be in /root. What's the output?

Next (if you haven't already), treat yourself to a decent file explorer (I like filebox). Much easier to move files around with a UI. Move anything that looks like you made it, from /root to /home/user/MyDocs . If your recoding(s) aren't in the top folder of /root, they might be is a sub-folder. However, because /root is only 256MB if the file was too long, it might have been culled or curtailed.

Oh and see if there's a config file, somewhere ,for the app so you can redirect the output to somewhere more accessible.
