I should have posted a concluding remark, but I didn't. Sorry!
Thanks for your help and posts.

did you do as the post #2 states allowed this new other Linux to decide where to put itself? if yes then a full take over probably has happened. Ubuntututu too likes to do that, but it has an option called "do something else

I don't think it offered me the chance to "do something else". I was banking on being asked, as I'm used to that happening.

I played around a bit with Testdisk photorec.
I don't know exactly what I did, but suddenly my home folder reappeared!
I think it may have been to do with the fact that I had the home folder on a separate partition, so the Proteus installation didn't wipe it after all.
I certainly learned my lesson!
