I was cleaning up my files stored in Microsoft 365. Now I have a message telling me to confirm the deletion. I cannot find the procedure to do this.

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows

    Hello, good day and thanks for your question. I understand that you are cleaning up files and that you have been prompted to confirm the deletion.

    May I check and confirm if you are doing this on your local drive or in OneDrive?

    You can also attach a screenshot here for reference.

    Did you once get a pop-up similar to this? If so, check your Outlook emails and OneDrive settings notifications.

    Delete or Keep Items

    If you are doing the clean-up in OneDrive, you can either double check it within the app or within the web and you can also see the support link below as a reference.
