Question

and I'v lost all of my files in my preivous home folder . is there any way to recover them ?

Where was your previous HOME? In case you did not deliberately delete it all your files may still reside there. — Takkat, Sep 28 '15 at 10:29

If you haven't deleted your old home folder then try:

mkdir mnt
sudo mount --bind / mnt

and navigate to mnt/home/<username>
