Windows 10: OneDrive overwrote files from the same folder

Staff, I had OneDrive installed. So I unlinked my account and unsynchronized it. I kept using the folders created with the path "onedrive\...", and then I decided to link my account again. In the process, OneDrive gave me the option of using the same existing folder and ended up deleting all the files that existed in it and replacing them with the files that were in the cloud. The files are gone, they're not in the recycle garbage cans and I've tried to recover them with software and can't find them. Translated with DeepL.com free version

onedrive duplicating my folders...

Hi.

Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
thousands of users have issues with it.

Thanks

Michel

Hi, BerndCS,

If the files are the same in each, I'd uninstall SkyDrive and leave OneDrive installed.
