Installing File Module has deleted all of my channel fields that had the "File" type

    I am just sick thinking that I may need to re-create a whole bunch of entries - but—

    I did not have the File Module installed on a site I’m developing until today, when I thought it may be the reason I could not get a filename to show up in a Matrix field output.  After installing the File Module, every channel field of type “File” has not disappeared from my field groups. 

    HELP.

    Do I need to uninstall the File Module?  If I try re-creating a field that was there before, I get a “field name already exists” error. 

    The fields do NOT show up in phpmyadmin in exp:channel:fields.

    Any help would be very much appreciated!
