    Files deleted from the online recycle bin are gone forever and cannot be restored.

    Hi! OneDrive's Restore your OneDrive feature helps Microsoft 365 subscribers undo all the actions that occurred on any files and folders within the last 30 days. 

    If any OneDrive files or folders were deleted, overwritten, corrupted, or infected by malware, you can restore your entire OneDrive to a previous time.
