Windows 10: How did OneDrive show up on my PC and delete my files?

I had Windows updates today, restarted and went on with my day. When I came back, my files were gone. The download of my files keeps failing, and I want to do something tonight with the files I can no longer access. What happened and how can I stop this from happening again?? I intentionally uninstalled onedrive in the past, since I already have my important files backed up. The documents I'm working with, in my documents folder, are there to be worked with, not to be "backed up" and deleted.

Deleting the files from the OneDrive app will delete them from the OneDrive servers as well.

The said app works differently form a PC wherein you can choose the folders that you want to sync. Using the said app for Windows Mobile will always display all the contents of your account.

You can help Windows Mobile better by submitting a suggestion or feature request about the Windows and Apps.

Follow the steps below to submit a feature request about the mentioned app:

• Launch OneDrive.
• Tap the Ellipsis [ . . . ] button on the lower right part of the screen.
• Tap Give feedback.
• Under the What would you like to send? drop down menu, select
  Suggest an idea.
• Type in your suggestion in the Include a message text box.
• Once you're done with the message, tap on the Check
  mark located at the bottom right of the screen.

Thank you.

 

Onedrive. PC onedrive deleted. Will the files online disappears.

I accidentally deleted the onedrive folder on my pc. When onedrive syncs will the online files be deleted or will they be still in the cloud?

 

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.
