OneDrive for Business folder restore restored the folder empty

Question

Now in my company, we have uploaded almost every files we manage. About a week ago, I accidentally deleted one folder with a couple of dozen subfolders and thousands of files. I think size of it was about 1GB.

Yesterday I realized that I deleted the file. I just restored the folder from the local recycle bin, it restored the top folder empty. After I restore the folder from recycle bin, there is no contents inside the  local and online recycle bin(include 2nd recycle bin). All the contents which were in the folder was gone.

As many contents are uploaded since I deleted the folder, I think restore every folder in the onedrive will make situation worse. So I only want to restore specific folder which I deleted.

Really need the content back!  Right away!

Thx

Park
