Alright, recently my computer had some issues, and all of my STO files and folders have been wiped, including my characters. The actual game itself isnt installed on my PC anymore, since everything got deleted. Is there any way that I can retrieve/restore these files?

You can check your Recycle Bin (But it's possible the files are too large as the Recycle Bin has a file size limiit per file on what it will keep.) If not, you just need to re-install the game from scratch. As for you characters, ships, items, etc. That's all stored on Cryptic's server, so you haven't lost anything in that regard.
So all my items/characters are still there? When I log in and go to 'My Characters', it just says "You have no Characters". But if the data is okay, then I should have 2 characters.

Everything is still there. Install, launch and play the game with your old chars. The worst thing is you will have to download a huge patch (several gigs).

Well your characters would never be deleted even if someone drops a bomb on your PC. If your characters are really gone, someone might have logged into your account and deleted them.
I am also inclined to believe someone did it because if Cryptic left the data about your character on you computer imagine how easy it would be to hack your toon and give it what you want...
Did you **** off someone (girlfriend, boyfriend, mother, brother, roommate, etc)?
Did you share your info (password/login) with someone?
You might try and ask Cryptic if they can bring them back but... i have no idea if they will do it...

moral of that story... never share passwords. I am not saying this happened to you.... just saying.
