Windows 10: I deleted files in my OneDrive folder on my PC and want to recover them.

I deleted files in my OneDrive folder on my PC, thinking they would only delete from this folder and not their original file location.


I understand now that this deleted all versions of the files.


The files cannot be found in my recycle bin on my PC or my online OneDrive.


I subscribed to Microsoft 365 to restore my OneDrive files to a previous time, but this did not recover the files.


I'm very scared as this was a year's worth of degree work.

Thanks

Recover Deleted Files from OneDrive

Hi

Does OneDrive have a recycle bin? I'm using Windows 10 on my laptop and can't find one.

If you accidentally delete a file or folder on OneDrive, is there any way to recover?
