OneDrive File Recovery - Restore from OneDrive Recycle Bin
When you delete files from OneDrive storage, you have the opportunity to recover them. That's because Microsoft keeps files you've deleted for 30 days, including documents, photos, videos, games, music, movies, and programs. Within 30 days of deleting a file, you can restore it directly from OneDrive.
To restore OneDrive files in Windows 11/10, follow these instructions.
Step 1. Right-click the OneDrive icon and select “View online.”
Step 3. Click on the "Trash" option in the left-hand pane.
Step 4. All deleted files and folders will be displayed on the right. Check the boxes of the specific files or folders you wish to restore, or click Restore All Items to recover everything.
- Tip
- When you delete files from the OneDrive desktop app, you can check your computer's Recycle Bin to restore OneDrive files, unless you've emptied the Windows Recycle Bin or it's overflowed, in which case older items are automatically deleted. But even if you've emptied the Recycle Bin, you can still use the following Data Recovery Wizard tool to recover files after emptying the Recycle Bin.
How to recover permanently deleted files from OneDrive
By default, your OneDrive folder is located at C:\Users\[Your Username], and contains all of your synced files and folders. There's a way to recover permanently deleted OneDrive files, even if you've exceeded the 30-day limit, or emptied both your OneDrive and Windows Recycle Bins.
This is by using file recovery tools to restore original OneDrive files from HDD, external USB drives, SD cards, and other storage media. While there are many data recovery tools, the Data Recovery Wizard tool appears to perform well for this task. It helps recover various types of files like photos and videos, and it works regardless of the reason behind the data loss.
Keep the storage device where your OneDrive files are located, and then follow the steps to restore OneDrive.
- Important
- How can a data recovery tool restore deleted files from a cloud storage? This is because your local files remain in sync with the cloud device. When you delete data from a cloud drive like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, it also removes the local file. The Data Recovery Wizard scans your local disk to find the same files that disappeared from the cloud drive.
Step 1: Select a local disk
Run the Data Recovery Wizard and select the local disk where files were synced to the cloud storage. Click on “Scan” to start.
Step 2: Review the scan results
Once the scan is over, you can start looking for the deleted files from the selected drive and cloud drives. To find a specific file, click on “Filter” and choose a category. Then, double-click a file to preview its content.
Step 3: Recover the files you need
Select the files you want to retrieve, click “Recover,” and then choose a different local disk to save the recovered data.
