This is a known problem with BOINC. Unfortunately there is now no way back - you can't now recover the lost WU and the work files can just be deleted.

Pending a fix, the advice has to be:

1. Take regular backups of the BOINC folder.

2. Suspend BOINC and then exit, even when performing a regular shutdown of Windows.
