I've been having a frustrating issue with OneDrive where it deletes a significant number of my files on its own. Most of the files getting deleted are from my 'Documents/FL Studio 20' folder, as well as a few others in the 'Documents' folder. I'm able to restore them from the OneDrive recycling bin, but they just end up getting deleted again. There are about 20,000 files involved, making restoration a lengthy process that takes me around three hours. I'm really looking for a solution to prevent this from happening repeatedly. Any advice would be appreciated!

What kind of files are being deleted? Do you notice the deletions happening when you're using FL Studio, or is it random? It could also be an issue if you have other devices syncing with the same OneDrive account. That might be causing the deletions too.
So you're syncing your Documents folder with OneDrive? You might want to consider moving your FL files elsewhere if you want to keep them safe. Alternatively, you could unselect the Documents folder in OneDrive settings under Sync and Backup, which might help, but it’s strange for your files to be going into the recycling bin at all.
Why should I have to move them though? They shouldn’t just disappear! I really need those FL files to stay synced.
Yeah, I want my FL files in OneDrive too because they're super important!
Have you tried uninstalling OneDrive and then restoring your files? That way, OneDrive wouldn’t end up deleting them again.
No way! The last time I uninstalled OneDrive, all my files vanished. Ain't doing that again, haha.
I'm dealing with FL Studio project files and audio files (like .flp and .wav). I haven't run FL in a while though, and I only sync my phone with OneDrive.
