Hi Landric,
We had some problems in Windchill 10.1 M040 related to workspace; we are working with Solidworks 2012. Please see this discussion for more details:

On the other hand, you can recover deleted files from the local workspace if it was not cleared. The cache folder is located in this path:
%appdata%\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINEER\Wildfire\.wwgm\.cache2008\<WindchillServerName>
You can recover Solidworks files following this procedure:
1. Locate the files with the extension “.wfcont”, and copy these files to another temporal folder.
2. In the temporal folder, sort the files from the newer to older to get the most recent version.
3. To get the Solidworks filename, select the file in Windows Explorer and Right-click, properties, then go to the "Custom” tab. Locate the property “PTC_WM_NUMBER”, the value is the Solidworks Filename.
4. Rename the file to the “PTC_WM_NUMBER” value.
5. Repeat this operation in order to locate all the wanted files.
6. After, you can import the files to the workspace.
Note 1. - You can locate several files with the same value in “PTC_WM_NUMBER” property, that is different saved versions of the file.
Note 2. - You can implement a little program to automate this procedure if the number of files is too big.
