OneDrive deleted my files!

Literally. I open up my terminal and try to cd Desktop only to be told that no such file exists. I thought for sure everyone this was happening to was just not reading something correctly and were foolish. Nope! It literally began deleting my files.

Edit 2: Even once it’s done and you have them locally and not “on demand”, the Desktop is in ~/OneDrive/Desktop instead of ~/Desktop. See this helpful comment.

It looks like there might be a way to sort of disable Files on Demand but it looks like it won’t let me do it until it’s done uploading? I’ll post updates.

Not to be dramatic, but I’m really going through it. My mouse logitech mouse is suddenly chattering really bad and double clicking everything. Also while Steam refuses to let me disable auto updates for all games in any sort of easy way. And DDG seems intent on only showing me results related to launching games without updating (as opposed to merely disabling auto updates until I launch). The chatter fixer I found for my mouse does not work and the other requires some logitech program to even try to use. (The repo doesn’t mention the name.) This is awful. When it rains it pours, I guess. Literally can’t even high light this text to wrap it in a spoiler. This is fucking stupid.

Context: My parents have a family plan for Microsoft 365 they added me too and it has 1 TB of storage I can use. I wouldn’t have turned it on otherwise.

Edit: My desktop background has literally vanished and turned solid black.

DO NOT ENABLE ONE DRIVE.

Regarding your mouse double clicking, some Reddit users suggest pressing the click button quite hard a few times…

Wogi ,

I just want you to know that I tried to read this comment, got bored because it got technical, (user problem) and scrolled to the bottom to find the very helpful, important part, in giant letters and bolded. And I appreciate you.

Oh wow. My one drive has been contained to it’s own file area for ages now. I wish I could remember how I did that.

I did just recently tell Microsoft to kick rocks when they offered to back up my computer though, it wasn’t that was it?

I only know about OneDrive for business, but you might check the recycle bin in OneDrive online.

Edit also OneDrive changes the folder where your desktop is mapped to, so you might make sure you are CD’ing to the right location
