Onedrive is missing files

Hi，ConfusedandFlustered

Thank you for your reply and patience.



According to your feedback, BitLocker and OneDrive are completely independent and there is no BitLocker encryption affecting OneDrive file loss.



We are sorry to say that OneDrive web side is the ultimate measure to retrieve lost data, if all else fails, then you may need to try third-party data recovery software options to help you recover your files. However, their success may vary and complete recovery is not guaranteed.



Future precautions:

1. Always make sure to back up important files in a separate location, such as an external hard drive or other cloud service.
   
2. Be careful when deleting folders, especially those related to the system or applications. Always check the contents before deleting.
   

It is again recommended that you submit your suggestions by sending an email to the OneDrive Support team to help you resolve account issues and attempt to retrieve lost data.
