Windows 10: One Drive Deleted Files.

Microsoft deleted the files on my one drive. All 600 GB of thousands upon thousands of files.From the search menu inside the now 0KB empty one drive - the drop down search shows there is an index somewhere out there that still has some trace of the contents I used to have. I need this index to rebuild the one drive again. I can only recall perhaps 9% of my files. I can't even recollect the complete folder structure. Is there any way anyone knows of accessing this index? I'm helpless. I can't get any help on email support I'm done.
