hello tammy,

onedrive file-hosting service allows users store , manage files other personal data. better, confirm following:

  • are having issue onedroive online or onedrive app on device?
  • which version of windows running?
  • did make changes computer or settings?
  • have installed software or updates?

in meantime, there ways on how can recover deleted files. if using onedrive website, kindly use different browser , following:

  1. go onedrive website.

  2. on left pane, tap or click recycle bin.

  3. to restore items, tap or click restore items. permanently delete items, tap or click empty recycle bin. restore or permanently delete individual items, pick them selecting check boxes.

note: if you're signed into onedrive with microsoft account, items in recycle bin automatically deleted 30 days after they're put there. if recycle bin full, oldest items automatically deleted after 3 days. if you're signed in work or school account, items in recycle bin automatically deleted after 93 days, unless administrator has changed setting. see more information about how long deleted items kept for work or school accounts.

in windows 10, windows 8.1, or using onedrive desktop app

when delete files on onedrive using file explorer, they're moved computer's desktop recycle bin. unless recycle bin overflowing, files stay there until empty recycle bin.

to open recycle bin, double-tap or double-click recycle bin on desktop. then, right-click (or press , hold) item want restore, , select restore.

do should need further assistance.
