    Missing documents


    My documents and files are disappearing from my computer. When I go to one drive I have some of them but not all of them. Why are things disappearing.For example: I have the H&R Block Program. I saved files through this program and when I looked at it today there are no files. They have all be uploaded and accepted but the program indicates that I have no returns. I have found 2 or the 6 files in One drive but have no idea where the others have went.How can I keep things in My Documents on my computerThanks

    :)

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Hi Richard,



    To sort your documents in your File Explorer by date, we suggest following the steps below:



    • Type File Explorer in Cortana search box to open File Explorer.
    • Go to the folder that you want to sort.
    • Click on View that is located on the top part of the window.
    • Click on Sort by.
    • Choose Date.


    Your files should be sorted by date with this option.



    Let us know if this works for you.
