File / folder permanently deleted and how to retrieve it?

[Joshua_cck]

I was accidentally permanent deleted the file in my desktop which sync to OneDrive and then may I know how to restore it back?

Open your OneDrive in browser and go to recycle bin. Look for your folder and restore it. The deleted files/folders stay in the recycle bin for 93 days.
When you restore the file, it will also sync it on your desktop.

There are two levels of recycle bins, check on secondary recycle bin. Below link is for SharePoint but same steps required for OneDrive:

If you accidentally deleted a file or folder from your desktop that was synced to OneDrive, it might still be recoverable. First, check the OneDrive Recycle Bin. Here’s how:

1. Go to OneDrive online: Open your web browser and sign in to your OneDrive account.

2. Navigate to the Recycle Bin: On the left-hand side, you’ll see the "Recycle bin" option. Click on it to view your deleted files.

3. Restore the file: If you find the permanently deleted file in the Recycle Bin, select it and click on "Restore" to recover it back to its original location.

If the file isn’t in the OneDrive Recycle Bin, you can try using the Windows 10 File History feature, if it was enabled prior to the deletion. Here's how:

1. Open the Control Panel: Search for "Control Panel" in the Windows search bar and open it.

2. Go to File History: Navigate to "System and Security" and then "File History."

3. Restore your files: Click on "Restore personal files" and browse through the available backups to find and recover permanently deleted files in Windows 10.
