Hi Mohamedam87 ,

 

please go to your OneDrive and check Desktop folder, see if you can locate your files. Also, check Recycle bin in the OneDrive. 

 

It seems like your Online files were already in OneDrive and not on your computer. (you only had shortcuts pointed to files Online).

Dear Adin

 

thank you very much for your information.

 

I have checked in the One-Drive folders and Recycle bin, But unfortunately, although all the folders were found in the recycle bin, non of them has the contents that were in before they got deleted. 

 

I found the folders with the exact names but contents such as ward files, Pdf, voice records and videos are not found in those folders. 

 

I am not sure whether they have been permanently deleted or got encrypted by the One-Drive ,,,,

 

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

 

mohamed
