    Hey there, Chitra Thiagarajan

    If you have accidently purged your OneDrive Recycling bin, please try and recover them using the restore feature that is built into OneDrive online. Please sign into your Microsoft account here: https://onedrive.live.com/?v=restore

    You will need to verify your identity by signing into your account again. You may be asked to complete Multi-Factor Authentication if you are using a device that isn't marked a trusted device. Once you have signed into your account and verified your identity, you will be able to select a date from the last 30 days to restore your OneDrive to.

    Please click onto a restore point and restore your OneDrive account to that date.

    Hope this helps,
    Nathan
