Help (Item disappearing)

[north]

I stored many valuable items in a barrel in Cheydinhal Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary right after beginning the quest ''The Purification'' and afterwards i haven't visited the place for a pretty long time, but today i wanted to take some items and guess what? they have all disappeared, there were only some ingredients that weren't even there before. Is there any way i can get my items back?

non-respawning is safe

There's written that non-respawning are unsafe for long-term storage

As far as i can read. Non-respawing are safe then others ="the rest" are unsafe.

Area "Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary"
The desk holds Vicente's Note to Ocheeva. Vicente's chest and desk are the only non-respawning containers in these areas; the rest are unsafe for long-term storage.

Area "Dark Brotherhood Living Quarters"
The chests of the residents and the sacks between them are the only non-respawning containers; the rest are unsafe for long-term storage

I thought of loading an old save game (before beginning quest ''The Purification'') and just check what items i had and give it back one by one with console command

Let's get real, we all know too good that whatever valuable, rare and cool items you ever place in a chest "for the future", you'll never ever return to take them back out of that chest again

The only way to get your items back is to reload an older save before the container respawned and made your items disappear.

If you need free storage, just remember that all Open-Topped grain sacks are non respawnable.

Those are the grain sacks where you can see the grain at the top. They are safe for storage in any area.

The best spot for storage early on in the game is using the open topped grain sacks located in the Imperial City Market district. There are 3 open topped grain sacks on each side between the shops. They are very conveniently placed.

Many of the guilds also have those grain sacks, but I can't recall if the Dark Brotherhood has one or not.

You can also use Torn Sacks of Grain and Clams as free storage.
