If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, log into OneDrive in a web browser (https://onedrive.live.com/), then click the gear icon at the top right and select Settings.

On the left, click 'Recover my OneDrive' and try using that process to recover the deleted folder.

If that process is not successful, the only hope you have is to try to use a 3rd party recovery utility to undelete and recover the folder on your computer or device the folder was originally created on.
