I tried to run re-sync - didn't help.

    @Cloud_Geek_82 Before troubleshooting this issue, let's verify the following:

    1. Where is the folder from? A library of a SharePoint site or someone's OneDrive?
    2. Are there any sync errors displayed in OneDrive?
    3. Are the screenshots from the same user or a different user?
    4. What is displayed when browsing the folder on the SharePoint site?

    There is an article about finding lost files or folders in OneDrive, please check if it is helpful for you:
