restore three from OLD files accidentally deleted: 8/8/23 and 9/8/23 and 4/24/23?

If those files were deleted from OneDrive, the recovery path depends on where they were deleted from and whether they are still within the retention window:

1. Check the OneDrive Recycle bin:
   • Go to the OneDrive website and sign in.
   • In the left navigation pane, select Recycle bin.
   • Select the files and choose Restore.
2. If the files were deleted from the synced folder on the PC:
   • Open Recycle Bin in Windows.
   • Select the files.
   • Right-click and choose Restore.
   • The files return to their original folder.
3. If the files are not in either recycle bin:
   • For Microsoft accounts, files in inactive personal accounts may have been deleted after two years.
   • For work or school accounts, files may have been deleted after 93 days.
4. If using Microsoft 365 and the deletion was within the last 30 days:
   • On the OneDrive website, use Restore your OneDrive to undo changes across files and folders from a previous point in time.

Important:

• If a file was permanently deleted from the OneDrive Recycle Bin, it cannot be recovered.
• Deleted online-only files do not appear in the PC Recycle Bin.
• Files deleted from the cloud are recovered from the OneDrive or SharePoint web recycle bin, not from the PC Recycle Bin.
