Any idea why they are empty now?
(Technical background: Kleopatra (and the other applications) only use the 
GnuPG backend and GnuPG would not throw away user data.)

If you only use OpenPGP bringing back the user folder should have all 
configurations and public and private certificates. (You need more if you had 
a system wide installation using S/MIME.)
