  1. why my file keep being deleted?


    Hi,


    I am facing this problem several times.

    i worked my files on Mac. i open on onedrive folder on my computer.

    before i close my word file, i save it.

    but,

    after that, i can not find it in on onedrive folder.

    i go to the website onedrive, and check the recycle bin.

    the file was there>>>>>>>>>>> even i do not delete it.

    i have to restore it, and sometimes the restore file was old version which is not the latest version that i have worked with,

    How can i solve this problem.

    it keeps me irritating many times.


    Best regards,

    :)

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
