Removal of the account in WLM not only removes from within WLM but also deletes the files on the hard drive.
For future backup...use WLM's File/Export/Messages/Windows Live Mail or a third party utility(e.g. GenieBackup - note the WLM
plugin is required)
For the former see
How to Backup Windows Live Mail Accounts, Contacts and Messages
