HELP PLEASE!!!! Accidental deletion of files on OneDrive

I promise, I can read, but the warning that I was given, as I chose to clear out my Pictures folder (after first verifying that they were already on the One Drive!), stated that the files would be deleted from my "PC," without going to the recyle bin - never said they would also get wiped from the OneDrive!!! Is there anyway to recover these??? My daughter is a photographer, and I was sharing my storage space while she is starting out, but now I  just lost her work!!!!!!!!!! 

 

PLEASE HELP ME !!!! THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE!!

    OneDrive, Dropbox etc work the same way. Files are synced, so if you delete them in one place they delete everywhere. Backups still need to be made.

    1. Check your online Recycle Bin in OneDrive (via the browser)
    2. If this is truly OneDrive for Business and not OneDrive (personal) then contact your iT department.
    3. Contact Microsoft support (don't delay). These forums are public self help. They are monitored by a Microsoft staff.
