Windows 10: OneDrive & Vault lost 25 year of personal data

Please Help me, need to recuperate my personal data!


I'm feeling kind Desperate.


So i start to open my personal Vault on computer not the browser. I copied all my persoanl file 25 year of my life something like 150 GB and 68k files. On same time I copied also Video and Images inside normal OneDrive not Vault something like 450 GB. The copy took 10 hour but all was ok, so i delete the originalfirst mistake.


After the copy OneDrive application started to do synchronization. I modified the time to 4 hour of auto-lock the Vault, because got error on synchronization. I let the whole night work but after i return i see 0kB/s synchronization and only 3.3 GB was synchronized. I try to restart PC... nothing, stop/restart sync, nothing. So last thing i have done was the worstsecond enormous mistake. I disconnected the PC. After that he start to sync all, but I have lost all Film, Images and personal files... also from the Vault. When I re-connected OneDrive i always used the same directory.


Any way to have back my files? At list that from the Vault? I have this directory OneDriveTemp with a virtual disk inside of 154 GB, any way to open it and find my files?


Can we really trust this instrument?

I was able to get rid of the Red X on my OneDrive icon and the error message saying that the Personal Vault could not be synchronized by doing the following:

1. Access the personal vault OnLine via the the View OnLine option from the desktop icon in the task bar.
   
2. Open the vault via the Web Browser and select all the files and folders in the vault.
3. Count all the files and folders presently in the Personal Vault.
4. Move all the files and folders out of the Personal Vault to another folder in your OneDrive.
5. Refresh and verify the Personal Vault is empty.
6. Verify all your important files have been successfully moved by verifying the folder and file count.
7. Disable the Personal Vault online via the Web browser.
8. Select the Personal Vault and attempt to delete it. A message "Cant delete Personal Vault' appears.
9. Click on 'Go to settings'.
10. Select the options to Disable the Personal Vault <Select Disable>. and "Disable" when asked are you sure. [NOTE: when you do this, any contents in the vault are irretrievably lost. So make sure it is empty first.]
11. Wait 30-60 seconds for your OneDrive desktop to synch.
12. Go back to the browser and select Enable on the Persona Vault window if it is still opened.
13. If you closed the window, select Settings in the upper right of online OneDrive (to the left of the question mark), select options, select Personal Vault from the left side menu, then select Enable.
14. A pop-up stating, "Your Personal Vault is back". Select 'got it'.
15. Click on OneDrive in the upper left corner of the browser screen.
16. Find your Personal Vault in your file/folder list.
17. Open it (you will have to authenticate to open).
18. Inspect the vault. It should be empty. In some cases there will be old "uncached" files that appears. It was the failed synching that caused the Red X. Reestablishing the Personal Vault allows the synch to proceed. Be careful as these files might not
    contain the most contemporaneous data.
19. You should now be able to use the Personal Vault as before without the Red X. You can move the files you moved out of the Personal Vault back into the Personal Vault - - begin careful to decide which version to keep of any duplicate files.
