I recently added another SSD to my computer and I can no longer find the files in my old documents folder. I can see the document folder itself but it says its empty.

    Hi,

    I see that you have a label for adding OneDrive, and I would like to ask if you have enabled OneDrive to sync data including your Document folder and so on? If so, check whether the data is available on the online side and whether the files are accessible.

    You can also try to reset OneDrive:

    And unlink and re-link OneDrive to help you troubleshoot problem:
