  1. I lost old photos and videos on my phone by using the onedrive 'free up space' option


    I wanted to free up space on my phone since I was dangerously low on it. And a notification showed up from onedrive which said that if I want I can free up 9.8 gb of space or something. It said that the files that are deleted from my device galaxy s9+ can always viewed on onedrive, that clearly means they won't be permanently deleted. So I went ahead with it and now all of the old pictures and videos in my gallery are gone. I assumed that they would be in OneDrive's recycle bin or at least somewhere in OneDrive. Turns out, I can't find them at all. I've checked almost everywhere in onedrive.

  2. Old Photos and Videos P Windows Phone

    Can you delete the history of old photos and videos on Windows Phone?

    Photos App is placed on home screen. The sequence or scene displays operating system installed photos as well as photos taken by user. User taken photos are displayed for long periods even after deletion.

    Music+Video App contains a history tab section of videos viewed. The viewed videos are listed on the tab, but there is no way to remove them.

  3. windows phone lost full day of photos and videos

    My windows phone lost a full day of photos and videos. When I arrived home the phone tried to sync to onedrive and could not, it stated I needed to connect to WiFi yet my phone showed I was connected to my WiFi network. I turned the phone off and restarted
    it and all the photos and videos were gone. they were not in the camera roll, not on onedrive, not on my PC. As I did not delete them can they be found on the phone some how?

  4. I lost old photos and videos on my phone by using the onedrive 'free up space' option

    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.
