Windows 10: Deleted "OneDrive" folder from my computer, it deleted my desktop, documents, and photos...

I found a folder in my user directory labelled onedrive, I don't have OneDrive installed on my computer, so I deleted it assuming nothing would happen, however it deleted all of my user files, including my desktop, documents, and photos. My recycle bin doesn't contain them, and now whenever I open my recycle bin or file explorer it gives me the error message "C:\Users\jakob\OneDrive is unavailable"Any ideas please? I can't find my files anywhere and I'm not sure what to do.

OneDrive deletes my local Desktop, Documents and Pictures folders ?!

@Samuria Hi, I've performed a OneDrive [Back up folder on this PC] test with the Documents folder of mine (with just a few test files), and again OneDrive deleted the Documents folder just like that without asking or suggesting anything. So right-click the OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, push Settings, then again Settings in next pane, etc ... I simply followed the instructions in the link below: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...a-6552e77c3057 On that support page the first picture after the video shows the pane [Where do you want to keep your files], with the options: --Continue backing up this folder (Recommended) --OneDrive only --Computer only The pane with those 3 options does NOT appear in my case. OneDrive immediately takes a backup of my D:drive Documents folder, puts then the aliases (references) of the backed up files in an OneDrive alias cloud icon folder, in an newly created empty Documents folder on the C:drive, en continues to delete the entire D:drive Documents folder into the trash where I could just pick up. Note that the C:drive Documents folder was moved several days to the D:drive where is was seen as the default folder by Office and other apps, and even by OneDrive as it picked the correct D:drive Documents folder to back up. Conclusion: there is something seriously wrong with OneDrive and the way it operates. For me this closes the discussion, I won't use OneDrive for backing up any data. Goodbye OneDrive! Thanks for the replies and support,
