    Thanks for your reply.

    If it is personal, recovery is limited after 30 days and older restore points are not available. Check OneDrive on the web, then Activity and Version history for any remaining files. If it is work or school, contact your admin to restore from retention or backup.

    Hello,

    Did you check the OneDrive Recycle Bin online?

    Go to OneDrive on the web, open Recycle bin, and restore files if still there. If over 30 days, go to Settings, then Restore your OneDrive, and pick a date before December 8, 2025 to recover your files.
