This from a 10.0 install:

c:\inetpub\logs\logfiles has an additional folder calle W3SVC1 with a bunch of .log files in it

c:\inetpub\logs\wmsvc  is empty.

I wonder if you clobbered something else; I can't imagine that deleting some log files is enough to wipe out your services.

Why don't you simply try to publish the service(s) and see what happens.
