Windows 10: Some problems with OneDrive and need recovery of a document

I know this isn't the place, but I really don't know where to post.. advice me please, or may be help me with the problem.

I have been deriving a series of equations on a physics problem over 2 days, on which the document is saved on the cloud in my OneDrive. But I was interrupted by an update from MS Store and the document was closed and reopened as empty. Thinking I have saved the old document, I closed the empty document without thinking and it didn't ask me for an option for saving changes either.

Now I reopened the document that I thought I have saved earlier, it was completely empty. All my equations are no longer there, all my diagrams are gone. It is damn hard to draw them. Worse still, my version history showed only the empty version.

F*ck me.. help.. I want to cry..

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

Document Library hijacked by OneDrive after update

This issue may be due to an incorrect location target. To correct this, kindly follow these steps:

• Right click the Documents folder where OneDrive files are showing.
• Select Properties, and then Location. Yours might look like this:
  C:\Users\Your username\OneDrive\Documents.
• If this is the case, you will need to create a new folder, select all the OneDrive files in the
  Documents folder, and then change its location to transfer it to the created folder.
• After emptying the Documents folder, right click it and change the location to:
  C:\Users\Your username\Documents.

Feel free to post back should you need any help with Windows.
