I gave up to recovery them. No idea why but it does show only old 
versions of the file instead of the most recent. And they are 
small blocks which aren't more than 20% of the file starting from 
line 1. I can't find any part of these 80% in nowhere (I read and 
compared all results).
I got in touch to Mono for D's author and there is no such an 
auto backup on Mono/Xamarim. He recommended another undelete tool 
which didn't worked for me too.  This time I'll do more than one 
backup and active the windows' native one.

Big thanks for everyone which tried to help me.

I'm already reinstalling XS (btw, I asked for windows for desktop 
version and now I'm installing all platforms supported by xamarim 
stuido which I'm not going to develop to).
