What amount of data are you expecting, >10GB or <1GB?

First steps: Please make sure that there is no 'hidden' data behind the mount point of /home/user. Unmount the MyDocs partition and look into the folder /home/user/MyDocs for any content[code]umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
ls -al /home/user/MyDocs
du -kx /home | sort -nr > /home/user/disk_usage.txt[code] The disk_usage.txt file may be helpful to find other files in your filesystem that you may miss.
Next step:
From what i see, the files in MyDocs partition are indeed deleted, so your best chances are to give testdisk a try to recover and undelete some of your files. Create some temporary space for the files to recover outside of the MyDocs partition to not write on it again, as the maemo OS thinks your partition is empty even when testdisk finds data
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install recovery-tools
testdisk
Little walkthrough:

let it create a 'Fresh Log',
choose your card /dev/mmcblk0,
Intel partition table [if it asks for the info]
Quick Search

You might then try to choose the MyDocs partition, typing 'p' will list the files, arrow keys to get into directories, red entries are deleted files or folders.
If you want to recover them you have to choose a new location for the copy [you are asked for the location, where you want to save it. '.'stands for the current directory you are in, '..' stands for the upper directory.]
Again use the arrow keys to go to the temporary folder for storing the files. There is still the validate question of testdisk, which asks for the location, active in the upper part of the window. Hit 'Y' will copy the file to the new location. [Depending on the size of the file or folder this could take some time. Be patient and let it do its magic]

Good luck!

Please be more verbose and precise about the step, where you get this information from.
To make us really know, what you are going through, please post the complete output, may it as code box or as attached file. People will know how to read the output and might give you instructions.

We could talk in German (I am in Vienna) but for the others here, I'll try it in English. :-)

How did you update your software:
a) with PC-Suite or OVI Suite
or
b) over the air (OTA) which is via your provider (I guess it's A1...)
or via some VDSL router and WLAN

If you used a) your complete device is reflashed as far as I know.
If you use b) (that's possible with the provider A1) or some other
Internet router and WLAN then all your data should be preserved.
A colleague of mine used a) and all his data was gone, but he
had a backup - which is always important with any computer.

You can see the "invisible" files with
ls -la
on the xterm.
So there is no need to change anything.

Maybe this also helps (as maemo is another Linux):
