5/15/2023 0 Comments Onedrive deleting my filesI had customized my laptop (brand new) set up my own icon system had everything organized and one day with out clicking on anything related to "One Drive" it just went to work destroying everything. I know this is maybe a bit late but I agree that it acts like a ransom virus in that I also lost files and had all my shortcuts disabled. I don’t know exactly what your particular situation is, but perhaps this helps you solve your issue. If the ‘files on demand’ is active, and there’s no internet connection/OneDrive client is off/ user is signed out, those placeholders disappear. The whole folder/folder structure or just one/multiple files. This can be turned off completely or disabled per folder by right clicking and selecting “always keep on this device”. That moves the Desktop, My Documents, My Pictures from their usual C:/Users/username location to the C:/Users/username/OneDrive folder and creates a registry redirect for those shortcuts to always point to the new location.įiles dont get lost, they sometimes disappear from the desktop momentarily, and then return with some symbols attached (a cloud, a circle).īy default, the files on demand feature is enabled, which means that files are uploaded to the cloud but they’re deleted locally (only a placeholder remains) and they’re downloaded when accessed. Usually people click through the setup without reading what they’re activating.
