Is there a way to recover a deleted file from OneDrive after it has been removed from the Recycle Bin?

Question

I accidentally deleted an important file from my OneDrive folder, and unfortunately, it was also removed from the Recycle Bin. Is there any way to recover this file? I'm hoping there might be a solution or a workaround to retrieve the deleted file. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @Ehsaas Web,

Yes, you can try to recover a deleted file from OneDrive even after it has been removed from the Recycle Bin.

Here are the steps:

1. Go to the OneDrive website, and sign in with either your Microsoft account. 
2. In the navigation pane, select Recycle bin.
3. Select the files or folders you want to restore by pointing to each item and clicking the circle check box that appears, and then click Restore.
