Windows 10: Trying to find folder deleted during Free File Sync backup

Occasionally I do a sync between a portable drive and my work PC (Windows 10) using Free File Sync. The latest sync, February 20, I think I tweaked the settings I normally do and it deleted a couple files.
I was able to find most of them in a folder that was created by FFS but can't seem to locate this folder.
Can anyone help me find where this folder is located? Where does FFS typically create it?

opened the 'last sync log' and found what I was looking for...

Where 'Stager-PerrySmith' is the folder I'm trying to retrieve.

I remember seeing the recycle bin specific to FFS but can't remember where it was created to. Can anyone help me here?

Couldn't Update System Reserved Partition Upgrading from Win 8.1

I'm working on it but running up against EFI System security which locks down any attempts to modify system files. I've tried using Command Prompt from Windows and its disk. Next I'll try a rescue disk to see if it gets free access to any file on the drive
to delete it, as it does in MBR format. I guess UEFI
is more secure, huh?

One thing you can try from your end is to run the In Sync backup program to see if it can locate the backup on EFI System partition (with or without drive letter) to delete it. If it had the ability to write there then something was awry, but maybe it can
still find and access it to delete it.

I'll get back to you when I find the solution, or maybe someone else will first. We need to delete the In Sync backup folder which wrongly wrote to EFI System partition.

If you do the Clean Install then you'll need to backup your files first to get it cleanest by deleting all partitions during install.

To save your files requires not deleting or formatting the C partition during install, just select C and then click Next without formatting or deleting. This should archive your files in a C/:windows.old folder to find after install.

If you do the Reset it will give you an option to save your files.

Your files should always be backed up because the hard drive can die at any time. Some suggestions to help ease into this habit:

You can drag 5gb for free into OneDrive app to store in the cloud where they are safe from fire and theft.

If you install Google Drive, you can use their new Backup to choose User folders (Documents, Pictures, etc.) to sync up to 15g for free to their cloud.

Or you can drag or copy them to another hard drive, USB external or flash drive.

Here's how to drag, copy or move large groups of files:
