You can use PowerShell to achive this (for deleted SPO sites).

 

Set-sposite -Identity https://DOMAIN-my.sharepoint.com/personal/bas_wijdenes_domain_com -Owner "Roger.roger@baswijdenes.com

 

The owner will now be able to open the onedrive with the link already provided.

 

If you need more help, let me know.

      probably roger.federer_domain_com but just try both you won't hurt anything trying and you'll know when you get it cause you wont' get an error.

      Also the -loginname is YOUR login or who you want to give access (make the site collection admin) not that user.
