SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open KDE plasma Vaults
2. create a vault ( i made one then removed it, and created two ).
3. add folders, create folders, and etc.
4. here is the tricky part because i was abit sleepy i dont remember if unmounted the vaults and shutted down my laptop or left them open, but i think i unmounted them because i normally do that to everything mounted but its best check.

OBSERVED RESULT

-Now comes the part that i don't understand, when i opened my laptop again, the vaults were gone and i was left with vaults saying no vaults have been set.
-i then tried create a new one but nothing , the button rendered useless
-i tried removing the widget but still i was left with one opened even though i am sure i removed all vault widgets from the panel 

EXPECTED RESULT

-vaults to open normally

Please have a look inside: .local/share/plasma-vault and see if any '.enc' files exist, these will have all your data.

Just to confirm, it was the first time you rebooted since making the vaults? 


>-i then tried create a new one but nothing , the button rendered useless

This happens if gocryptfs is not installed, please double check that.
