I accidentally deleted my skin shader and now I can't get it back. Restart 3D Coat doesn't reset your shader list and I don't see any way of restoring lost shaders.

If it's a default Skin shader, installing the latest build should restore it.

You can get it back by using a HD recovery software on the folder where the material existed before the deleting!!!

Been in that situation 2 times and managed to recover the files back (more than 90% of them).

It would be a good idea to save ANY custom shaders, Smart Materials, Presets, etc. as a 3DC pack. That way they are stored in a .3dcpack file that you can save elsewhere on your hard drive, and quickly retrieve them, in such events. It's also a good way to move all of them to your laptop or other computers. You can create a 3DC pack by going to the FILE Menu > CREATE EXTENSION. Choose which assets you want to store in the file, and you can later install it by clicking INSTALL EXTENSION, in the same FILE menu.
