Hello:

Not sure, can you double check to make sure they are not playlists you are following and are being updated by the original creators? Can you also provide links to the playlists and if possible screen shots too can help big time for odd account issues like this. Also is this happening everywhere on the Spotify service? If you go to the webplayer here: https://player.spotify.com/ does the playlists have the same issue with content there and then gone? Also if you can provide what system and Spotify app version this is happening with that will be super great. Also make sure that no one has access to your Spotify account, if in doubt change your account password ASAP.

You might have to do some searching on the community here to backup songs that are in playlists if this is what you are wanting to know? There are several methods and ways to go about the process. But if any playlists do get deleted, users can also recover them from their account here https://www.spotify.com/account/recover-playlists/

Everything in the Spotify catalogue available to you to play is setup with a play link URI and HTTP links attached to it the content be it if the content is whole albums and/or individual tracks. So different methods exists to back up these links to the albums and tracks in playlists, so everything can be recovered if there is playlist issues.
