Windows 10: Lost folder/file

When I do a search I see that my file is in a folder called .Trash in icloud but I cannot find any .Trash file and I get an error message. I spoke to Apple support but they said ask Microsoft! My Dell PC has Win10 Pro 22H2Basically I keep my current documents in a folder called 1Documents in Icloud. Since it became too large I decided to create another folder called 1Currents in icloud on 2 Sep 2023, Halfway through my 1Documents folder disappeared and a folder called Trash appeared! I was able to move most of the files from Trash to 1Current but then Trash disappeared! I tried the Restore op

Folder in Favorites lost

Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.
