Windows 10: OneDrive deleted all my files.

So.. i am about to reinstall windows, and i wanted to backup some files from my PC to the cloud, so i figured i'd give Onedrive a go.

Delete files from OneDrive

If I delete my files in OneDrive, will it automatically delete them from my PC? - Quora

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.

 

Photos deleted from gallery, deleted on Onedrive

Hi Lrs1436,



Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



It sounds like your photos deleted from gallery have also been deleted on Onedrive.

First I suggest you try to check maybe the Deleted Galary on your phone to see if it's possible to get deleted photos back. Then you may try to visit the OneDrive website to see if the photos you synced are there. If not, you may follow the steps listed on this link | Find lost or missing files in OneDrive (microsoft.com) to see if they could be found back.



Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
