Windows 10: OneDrive says i have deleted 6612 files. How can I get the list?

Here is what OneDrive is telling me paste.I'm not sure exactly what this is referring to. I don't think i removed 6612 files. But, i did delete some files. I do not want the files i intentionally deleted to be restored. But maybe i do want some of the others restored.I looked in the recycle bin of OneDrive and it has 10 items. This is really quite perplexing.How do i see the list of the 6612 files os i can examine it and make an informed decision about what to do about them?Thank you.

OneDrive keeps uploading files I've deleted

Hello! AmericanGrimoire

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community

It's possible that OneDrive is still syncing the deleted files from your desktop to the cloud. Allow me to ask:

• Are you using OneDrive for Personal? or OneDrive for Business?
  
• Can you still see the deleted folder in Your request has been blocked. This could be due to several reasons. ? If you are I would suggest deleting it in the OneDrive.com since this is the cloud server of OneDrive.
  
• I would like to know what @domain and who is hosting your email account? example for @domains: Gmail.com, Yahoo.com, Outlook.com/Hotmail.com
  
  • May I know if the account is for Work/School use? or Personal (Hotmail/Outlook.com) use?
    

To stop this, you can try the following steps:



1. Pause OneDrive syncing: Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Pause syncing". This will stop OneDrive from uploading any new files.



2. Clear OneDrive cache: Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R, type %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset, and press Enter. This will clear the OneDrive cache and reset the app.



3. Unlink and relink OneDrive: Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Settings". Go to the "Account" tab and click "Unlink this PC". Then, sign in to your Microsoft account and relink your PC to OneDrive. Unlink and re-link OneDrive - Microsoft Support

Note: No data will be lost by unlinking and re-linking your OneDrive, your local folders are just disconnected from the cloud for a short while. Any changes made while you're unlinked will be synced once re-linking is complete.



4. Exclude the folder from syncing: If the above steps don't work, you can exclude the folder from syncing by right-clicking on the OneDrive icon in the system tray, selecting "Settings", going to the "Account" tab, clicking "Choose folders", and unchecking the folder you don't want to sync.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you,

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
