I'm curious about how the retention policy affects the process of OneDrive data recovery. If I accidentally delete some important files from my OneDrive account, would the retention policy affect my ability to recover them? Would I be able to restore the deleted files if they were subject to the retention policy?
Additionally, I'm also interested in learning more about the use of third-party hard drive recovery software like for OneDrive. If the built-in OneDrive data recovery tools do not work, can I use third-party software to recover my deleted files? What are some of the best third-party data recovery software options available for OneDrive, and how do they compare to the built-in recovery tools in terms of effectiveness and ease of use?
