Help! I Accidentally Deleted My Desktop and Important Folders
Asked by

I was cleaning my PC and noticed OneDrive had taken up 50 GB, so I decided to delete it. Unfortunately, I ended up losing my entire desktop along with my documents and images folders. Is there any way I can recover all these lost files?

You might want to check OneDrive's recycle bin first. It usually keeps deleted files for about 30 days, so there's a chance your files are still there! At my workplace, we had a 90-day retention with our subscriptions, but I'm not sure if it's the same for personal accounts.

Have you tried checking the regular recycle bin on your PC? You might find some of your files there if they were deleted recently.
