Windows 10: Emptied recycle bin

Hello,I tried speaking to online help but was proptly ignored. My files were all moved to the recycle bin thinking they were still on my hard drive and not just on OneDrive, and then the recycle bin was emptied yesterday. Obviously having seen what happened, and the mistake it was - I have just lost months worth of work. Is there a way to restore these files? I can still see the file names in some parts of my computer but when i click on them it says they are on onedrive but missing.please, i can't lose this much work.kit

:)

Empty Recycle Bin Tip

I don't get it. Isnt it as easy as just right clicking the recycle bin and pressing empty bin...?

 

Recycle bin will not empty


I used a file synchronizer to get rid of a bunch of images and the program sent all the small files to the recycle bin. Anyway, there must be a thousand small file in my recycle bin that will not empty. The "empty recycle bin" begins the process by listing all the files, but it just keeps going in circles and will not empty.
