    STOP immediately and read this carefully, because the situation you describe is a potential account compromise, and your access may disappear at any moment.

    Below is the safe, correct way to recover your files and lock out the attacker.
    I will NOT give any hacking or intrusion instructions — only legal, secure recovery steps.

    https://d.docs.live.net/<ID>
    …is the internal OneDrive remote storage path used by Windows.

    It does NOT belong to a “hacker server”.

    It is the unique internal ID of a Microsoft account’s OneDrive.

    If your files were moved there, it means:

    Someone moved your files into a OneDrive account — possibly yours, possibly an attacker’s.
    The fact that you now have access means you are likely still logged into that Microsoft account.

    Secure Your Microsoft Account FIRST

    Do this immediately before trying to recover files — otherwise the attacker can delete/lock everything.

     1. Change your Microsoft account password

    Go here:
    https://account.live.com/password/change

     2. Sign out all devices

    https://account.microsoft.com/security/recoveryoptions

    Sign out everywhere

     3. Enable two‑step verification

    https://account.microsoft.com/security

     4. Check for an added recovery email or phone

    Remove anything you do NOT recognize.

     5. Check devices logged into your Microsoft account

    https://account.microsoft.com/devices


    Remove anything suspicious.

     

    SECOND: Recover your data back into your OneDrive

    If you currently have access to
    https://d.docs.live.net/A738C7AF628E9D5E/
    then those files are stored inside a OneDrive account.

     

    Option A — If this is YOUR OneDrive account

    Do this:

     1. Open File Explorer → OneDrive

    You should see your OneDrive folder with files in it.

     2. Copy the files back to the correct locations

    Use (Copy → Paste) to move them to your desired folders.

     3. Wait for OneDrive to sync

    You’ll see a blue or green check when finished.

     

    Option B — If this is NOT your OneDrive account

    (Meaning the attacker’s OneDrive but you are still temporarily logged in)

    Immediately download everything:

    1. Open the link in the browser
    2. Select all files (Ctrl+A)
    3. Click Download
    4. Save the ZIP
    5. Copy the files into your own OneDrive
    6. Then change your Microsoft login (step 1 above) so the access token becomes invalid for the attacker

     

    THIRD: Check the OneDrive “Recycle Bin”

    If files were moved or deleted, some may still be recoverable.

    Go to:
    https://www.onedrive.com

    → Recycle bin

    Restore everything you need.

     

    IMPORTANT WARNING

    The fact that:

    • you suddenly regained access
    • your system was behaving abnormally
    • multiple ISPs showed blocking
    • reinstalling Windows and Linux didn’t solve it

    …suggests the compromise might have been at the account level, NOT your devices.

    Someone may have had access to your Microsoft account, not your computer.

    This is why securing the account must happen first.

      why on earth does this forum allow people to respond to actual, real life issues with answers from an LLM that is known for hallucinating and being inaccurate? even the creators warn against its inaccuracy. your amazing slop machine can cause someone to lose access to theri account or cause them to do something wrong.
