A OneDrive file was deleted: check the correct cloud recycle bin

Check OneDrive's recycle bin in the account that owned the file. Cloud deletion recovery differs from looking only in the computer's Recycle Bin.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Check OneDrive's recycle bin in the account that owned the file. Cloud deletion recovery differs from looking only in the computer's Recycle Bin.

Understand the issue

Establish whether the item was yours or shared by someone else. A shared item's owner may need to restore it. Recovery also depends on retention and whether the item was permanently removed, so avoid promising that every deletion can be undone.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Sign in to the correct OneDrive account.
  2. Find the deleted item in the recycle bin.
  3. Restore it where available and verify the content in its original folder.
