May I ask why some very important files saved in One Drive have been wiped from my cloud system?

    Hi! You probably have OneDrive synced on one of your computers. If you delete a specific folder on that computer that's synced with OneDrive, that folder might also be deleted in the cloud.

    • On your main computer, in the taskbar, click the ^ > Cloud icon > Gear icon > Settings > Check if your email address is correct.
    • Under Sync, check if the Desktop, Documents, Pictures, or similar folders are enabled.
    • You can see all devices connected to your account here:
