OneDrive hijacked my local files and then wiped them—is there any way back?

<p data-path-to-node=”0″>OneDrive literally hijacked my life and I’m in total shock right now. I had everything set to “Keep on this device” but it completely ignored me and sucked years of work into the cloud without asking. Now my Desktop and Documents are just empty folders and thousands of my Photoshop files, art projects, and drafts are just gone. It’s like my entire career vanished into a void.</p>
<p data-path-to-node=”1″>I’ve tried everything to get them back but keep hitting walls. Recuva was a disaster and actually made my drive worse, and I didn’t have File History turned on so that’s out. Checking the cloud only shows a few random fragments of files, and the “support” people just keep reading me the same useless scripts that don’t help at all.</p>
<p data-path-to-node=”2″>The worst part is there isn’t even a cloud icon anymore to try and stop the sync. It’s like OneDrive took my files and then just deleted itself from my computer. If anyone has actually survived a forced migration like this and found their stuff, please let me know. I’m honestly desperate and don’t know if there’s any way back from this.</p>
