Account permanently closed — need temporary access to download personal OneDrive files

Question

My Microsoft account was permanently closed after my appeal was denied, and I was not able

to clearly understand what specific action caused the violation.

Even so, I am not requesting the decision to be reversed. I am only asking if there is any

official way to get temporary read-only access to my OneDrive in order to download personal,

family, immigration and work-related documents that I no longer have elsewhere.

Is there any data recovery or limited-access process available in cases like this?

Boa noite, Cassio? Se sua conta foi bloqueada por alguma infração ao código de conduta ou por abuso precisa preencher e enviar o formulário de contestação, nele vai obter a resposta para o motivo do bloqueio e se ele é temporário ou definbitivo, nenhum acesso a pasta do Onedrive, emails, jogos, aplicativos, agenda e etc são permitidos sem o total desbloqueio da conta pela Microsoft e isso só é possivel com a contestação:

Thank you for your reply.

I understand the general policy, however my case involves a suspected false positive related to personal family photos of my child, which triggered automated CSAM detection.

I have submitted an official appeal to Microsoft Digital Safety (Appeal # 03ba133e-6ebf-4779-8486-83b8ba2a5cec) requesting manual review.

Could this be escalated to Trust & Safety for verification of false positive and potential data recovery access?

Hi there! My name is David. It’s a pleasure to help you today.

Regarding your question, if your account was permanently closed and Microsoft denied your appeal, unfortunately, I must inform you that there is no official process that allows you to access your OneDrive files, not even temporarily, due to Microsoft’s policies.
