Wait, what? Just to be clear, are you saying that one of more files
that were not in OneDrive have been moved to OneDrive without your
action, permission or knowledge?

That seems vanishingly unlikely compared to user error, *even for
Microsoft*, which is saying something.

Do you have a backup? OneDrive being live storage, it does not count as
a backup.

Well - definitely look around on your locally connected drives first.
One false drag-n-drop could be to blame. If you have a good idea how
much free disk space you had yesterday, comparing it with how much you
have today might give you a clue as to whether the files are really
gone.

What took you so long?
