Windows 10: Why is my onedrive recycle bin full of files and programs I did not delete or have?

My onedrive recyle bin is full. It is full of files I either did not delete or files I never had to begin with. Some examples are tor, Mozilla Firefox, and lyrebird.exe, omni.j, tonnes of fonts, random blank text files, some other .exes I couldn't identify and some empty folders.All of these things were deleted at the same time on 3:52 this Friday. I was browsing tor at that time so I assumed I had a virus and did multiple virus scans with multiple applications on my phone and my computer and couldn't find anything. Mozilla and tor are still present on my computer but they are also in my one

Deleted OneDrive recycle bin, can I get it back?

The title of your thread is Deleted OneDrive Recycle Bin. Are you saying that is not what you did? May I ask why you gave my post an unhelpful rating when I exactly answered your question as you wrote it and titled it?

If these are OneDrive files that were in the Recycle Bin you emptied, then they are still in the online OneDrive recycle bin at www.onedrive.com as it is not emptied unless you authorize it. Go there now to find and restore your files.

To retrieve files that were deleted from the desktop Recycle Bin see here:

You're welcome.

 

OneDrive and Recycle bin

I am a bit confused on how OneDrive and deleted items work.

I've my desktop synched, and when I delete an item it goes to my Windows 10 Recycle bin (and also OneDrive Recycle bin).

If I log on to another PC, Would the recycle bin sync?

How about creating an item from OneDrive web portal and deleting it? Sometimes I see it in my desktop recycle bin and sometimes not.

Can anybody explain?

Thanks!
