I recently realized that an important folder full of my animations has disappeared from my desktop, and it's really concerning. I haven't seen it for about two months, and I can't figure out where it went. This folder contained all my animation files, including PNGs for tweening, MP4s of my rendered animations, sound files in MP3 and WAV formats, and project files like .aep and .clip.
After a recent update on my computer, I started getting alerts about OneDrive, even though I'm not actively using it. I've heard stories about people losing files after uninstalling OneDrive or turning off its sync features. I even tried using Disk Drill, but I still can't find my folder. I'm feeling really frustrated and worried that all my hard work is lost.

Have you been able to check if maybe your files are just hidden? Sometimes system updates can cause folders to be hidden accidentally. Another thing is to ensure your backups are working properly—if you can access an external hard drive, you might want to explore it further.
Update sounds concerning! If you're unable to copy that backed-up folder to your desktop, it might suggest a permissions issue. You could try checking the properties of that folder and see if it's set to read-only or if you have the right permissions to copy it.
