Holy fuck I hate onedrive. I just lost 10 years of irreplaceable photos and documents because this piece of shit forced itself into my computer, hijacked my Documents, Pictures, Desktop etc folders, copied that shit to their servers and removed my local copies, and then when I deleted their shit, all my shit is gone and the windows file browser is throwing errors whenever I try to open those folders.it's all fucking gone. I never asked for this shit on my computer, I didn't want it to replace my normal fucking folders with some spyware bullshit, I never wanted fucking anything to do with it but fucking MICROSOFT integrated it into the OS, like cortana and internet explorer, and FUCK YOU if you don't like it. turn it off, it turns back on. forcefully remove it, and it breaks system critical shit.I have repeatedly disabled onedrive since getting my computer, and when I found a onedrive folder in my user directory while cleaning up files, I deleted it without a second thought. now, it turns out that all my pictures and documents were actually inside that folder, and not in my actual pictures or documents folder.no, none of it is in the recycle bin on my computer or on onedriveas for file recovery, it got back about 10% of what I lost. I'm feeling very emotional. fuck this spyware software. microsoft forced this shit onto my computer, stole my files and moved them around without permission, and then fucked me in the ass. holy fuck I'm so mad
>>100170320It just works. You're retarded.
>>100170330yeah that's what all the microsoft shills say online.>it works fine if you use it properly!maybe it does, I don't care. I didn't want it, I didn't ask for it. it's malware. sure maybe it's useful for certain applications, but not for me, otherwise I might have chosen to install it on my computer.it's really fucked up how it integrates itself into the file browser, and suddenly your /pictures folder is actually /OneDrive/pictures but nothing tells you this until it's too late.the shills also like to say>it's not that complicated>read the fucking manualyeah that makes sense...in the case of something you chose to install and integrate into your system. it's totally bullshit in regards to something that forced itself into your fucking computer. it's a fucking virus and I hate it
>this piece of shit forced itself into my computer, hijacked my Documents, Pictures, Desktop etc folders, copied that shit to their servers and removed my local copies, and then when I deleted their shit, all my shit is gone and the windows file browser is throwing errors whenever I try to open those foldersvery extreme case of user error
>>100170390User error would be if I installed a program and then used it incorrectly. However, this shit installed itself, hijacked my shit, and does whatever the fuck it wants with my files and my computerfuck you faggot. I'm not some computer novice, I've been using windows since before you were born. this shit is unprecedented and almost predatory in the way that it takes the traditional user file structure and then just shoves onedrive into there, so microsoft can upload all your shit to their servers
>>100170320What are you trying to accomplish by spamming badly LLM-generated threads about fake IT issues?
>>100170320You should be able to recover your files from the onedrive web interface. I assume you have a microsoft account.
>>100170320But how mad are you really? 1835 73rd Ave NEMedina, WA 98039
>>100170409thousands, maybe millions of people have had this exact issue, don't know what you find difficult.>>100170413already tried but thanks. this wasn't my first stop, I'm not here for troubleshooting. already been trying to fix this shit all day. I'm just venting because holy fuck those pictures meant a lot to me, and they're gone. and no, none of them are uploaded to any social media either.
a reminder of the importance of file backups, I know.
>i'm not a noob>also i accidentally deleted all my files
>>100170437> millions of people routinely delete their Onedrive folderYou could at least take the time to read the shit you generated. The LLM made it sound like it was a blunder of yours that provoked the issue.
>>100170405I don't have one drive. I don't have these problems. IDK what your doing wrong. Don't even have a Microsoft account linked to my puter. It's really not that hard to do a local account even on windows 11. How would they upload anything even if they wanted to, what account would they put it in? IDK what to tell you but your kindof a cuck and I'm glad I don't know you IRL.
>>100170459I deleted the OneDrive folder, in the same directory as my Pictures and Documents folder, but actually, the REAL pictures and documents were inside the onedrive folder and not in the pictures or documents folder.surely you can see that this is a ridiculous way to have things. they should have at least used different names
>>100170460it was, technically, my blunder. I deleted the folder. what I didn't do is put all my shit in that folder, Microsoft decided that one.
>>100170462fuck you. why even comment to say that you don't know anything about the subject.

Okay retarded faggot>>100170851This did actually happen with Google Photos to a family friend. One of her friends was insisting on using Google Photos albums, and she finally caved and downloaded it. She’s a little on the older side, and Google is sneaky with the “Keep your local files or delete everything and move it to Google?” questions, so that’s exactly what happened. Apparently had to spend a day carefully downloading it back to the way it was and getting it off Google’s cloud.
>>100170381your pictures and stuff should still be ok on your offline backup drives. just restore from those.
>>100173482it happens to a lot of people who do not know any better. they get tricked into subscription cloud storage of their own files, and get too confused to undo it, or save their own data from deletion when they can no longer afford the cloud back ups. it has always pissed me right off. this anon >>100171583(much like all the major tech companies now) has the mindset to prey on those people for profit.
>>100170320100% the first thing I disable when installing Windows.It's counterintuitive how to use it, windows explorer opening on it instead of your local area is bad, and the windows explorer screaming at you if you do not have a folder name onedrive, when it doesn't complain about any other imaginary folder not existing, is atrocious.If Microsoft actually wanted user friendly cloud storage, it should be opt in, purchasable, and not smother all your files, nor delete local copies when you delete "cloud" copies.It's a nightmare for my older and younger relatives who don't understand how computers work.
>>100170320>I just lost 10 years of irreplaceable photos and documents because this piece of shit forced itself into my computerGentoo doesn't have this problem.
>>100173743yeah, if only. Lesson learned.>>100175387This, fucking thank you. And it's also bullshit how it presents itself as a backup service, when it's actually just mirroring your shit onto their servers. It's not a backup at all.>>100173482Calling support isn't going to help me. I disabled OneDrive a while back, and kept using my local storage as normal. Then I found a onedrive folder while I was cleaning up my storage to make some space, and just deleted it without thinking because I don't use it. But it turns out, since Onedrive subverts traditional folder directory, all my shit was NOT in the normal folders (which still exist) it was actually in the onedrive folder. My explorer is throwing errors now because when you try to open "pictures" or "documents" it doesn't actually go to those folders, it goes to "onedrive/pictures" etc. It's absolutely fucking bullshit.>>100173034how is it bait. this is a very common story and anywhere you go where people talk about onedrive, you'll find it.>>100172963maybe I wasn't clear in the OP, I was (and still am) fucking seething. FUCK MICROSOFT
>>100175438nor does Mint, but people are typically scared to death of Linux and that is because they get overwhelmed with syntax heavy distros and the command line. if you want to show people the light, you have to not overwhelm them.

>retard doesn't have backups>retard loses data>retard tries to shift blame when he's the only one at fault What is it with these morons not having backups for things they claim to be "irreplaceable"?
>>100175564fuck you, faggot. Yeah, I should have had backups. However, onedrive is bullshit. microsoft is a bullshit company that peaked with XP and it's been downhill from there. There's no fucking reason that this external, "optional" service should be integrated into the OS to this fucking extent where you don't even know where your shit is going unless you do some tutorials and read the documentation on a service YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR
>>100175495anon i sympathize, sorry for being a jerk earlier with the normies get out, it is just always something i have disabled immediately after a fresh install much like this anon: >>100175387i want you to please go here: https://www.majorgeeks.com/and learn about the registry and disabling windows features.
>>100170320>he didn't uninstall onedrive by making a local account on his windows installSometimes you get it, sometimes you learn.
>>100175638>basic windows thingsThat's exactly my fucking problem, numbnuts. I'm used to basic windows things. This is a drastic change from basic windows things and that's why I fucked up.
WHY does Microsoft push onedrive so hard? I can see its use for certain applications, but for the average user with a single computer, it's actively harmful. the only reason for it is so they can copy all your shit to their servers, but I'm pretty sure they can do that already. So why? just to encourage people to purchase more microsoft products?
>>100175709As I've already mentioned a few times, the drastic change is how it hijacks the traditional file directories and inserts itself as a middleman. The old folders still exist but by default they are not used, because everything goes into the onedrive folder instead. I didn't know that until now, because I disabled onedrive a while back because it kept throwing errors about insufficient storage and trying to stop me from saving shit locally, telling me I needed to buy more storage. This is predatory design.
>>100175728>This is predatory designyou are absolutely right.
>>100175794I have 2tb locally. I don't need or want onedrive. Aside from its bullshit, Windows also changes the file explorer to default to onedrive directories, instead of local. Which, again, I did not know until now because it is a radical departure from the way windows has worked since I first got fucking dial-up
>>100175597You know what's even dumber than microsoft? You are.
>>100175855fuck off pretending there's nothing wrong with this predatory bullshit that hijacks your local storage without telling you. if I had chosen to use it, didn't take the time to learn about it, and then fucked up, you'd have a point. But I didn't want it, didn't ask for it, and even when I disabled it (because you're not allowed to actually remove it), it was still doing shit on my computer.
Reminds me of how getting rid of Cortana or Internet Explorer destroys Windows. I guess we can add OneDrive to that list of bullshit forced integration.
Come to the BSD's.
OneDrive exists as an early version of making your OS into a subscription based service. They want you paying a regular fee in order to store files.imagine how many computer illiterates out there get tricked when Windows pops up saying you're out of storage, but for only $20 a month you can have basically infinite storage, and all your files will be safe and secure forever. This, when the user still has plenty of local storage. This is how OneDrive works by default.

>>100170320>I deleted all my files and now I'm angry
>>100176697Yes.
>>100176697Not hard to do when the OS itself lies to you about where it's keeping your files.
>>100176718Yet you will keep using winshit like a little bitch and get fucked over again the next time.Stockholm syndrome.
>>100170320All your original files will still be on your pc, Onedrive makes new directories in c://users/ but relinks them for your user account when you look in Documents to the onedrive onesIf it really has overwritten your files you should still be able to get them back with recuva
>>100176779I'm using Windows because I have to, for external reasons. I used to use Mint. I will be returning to Linux as soon as I can, trust me.>>100176780thanks, but it's not like that. I disabled onedrive a while back, it was causing problems. Then yesterday, while cleaning up my files, I found a onedrive folder and deleted it. Turns out that many of my files were being saved there instead of the old default directories (which still exist). Yes, it was my mistake not knowing how onedrive works, but I don't care how it works and I never fucking wanted it on my computer, never (willingly or knowingly) used it, and was misled by the native file browser, where the sidebar for pictures, documents, etc doesn't actually go to those folders, but to a subdirectory within the onedrive folder.You could say it's user error, and to an extent it is, that's true. However this shit is designed in such a way that it (intentionally IMO) obfuscates what's actually going on, and where your files are being saved.
>>100176780oh and I did use recuva and got some shit back (see >>100175495 ) but unfortunately I was making space for a big download which I started immediately after deleting the onedrive folder, and didn't notice until the download completed, so the vast majority of the old files were already lost.
>>100170320OpenSUSE users never have this problem, just throwing it out there
>>100170320I can't even be nice, you willingly used Windows on your own Computer without knowing how it operates and then cry like a fucking baby on /g/…I think even with GNU/Linux you would have fucked up somehow, good luck man
>>100170468I made this mistake too the first time I tried doing anything with OneDrive. Backed all my shit up, unlinked, then uninstalled.
>>100178212I used Linux fine for years, because you actually have control over your computer and your files. Microsoft fucking with my shit "for my convenience" created this problem. I'm not using Windows by choice.
>>100170320ITT: people who have obviously never made a mistake with their PC's such as : >>100178212
>>100175597I usually feel bad for people with drive failures that had no backups but I have no sympathy for you. You are literally the reason you had a problem in the first place. You're a moronic child throwing a tantrum because you went out of your way to do something you shouldn't have done and is now suffering the consequences.Please do this site and your family a favor and find the tallest building near you asap
>>100178783Bill Gates ain't gonna have sex with you, anon
>>100178783Excuse me for being upset that Microsoft moving around my files without my permission led to me permanently losing pictures of friends and family.
>>100178478I've made several mistakes with my computers over the years, most of them when I was young but some recent. The difference is I didn't try to blame my own dumb actions on something else and just owned up to it.One of my favorites retarded mistakes was when I decided that one of the case fans from my computer was making way too much noise and bothering me but turning it off and unplugging it was way too much effort so I got some scizors and cut the cables. Killed the PSU lmao
the funniest thing about OneDrive is it does this to so many people not just OP just to check forums and see all the confused boomersMicrosoft really is fucking incompetent at making things idiot proof though only idiots get used by their products anymore
>>100178837Maybe you should read the thread before you start jacking yourself off.
>>100178836That didn't happen. You did that on your own and then you deleted files that you hadn't backed up. You're a moron and you refuse to admit it so you shift the blame to onedrive instead
>>100178850>OP crying because he lost data that he didn't backup.>the reason he lost data wasn't even an accident he intentionally deleted it all because he didn't realize he moved stuff from his pc to the cloudI've read it
>>100178868Why even lie? I didn't make the folder, and neither did I choose to put my shit in there instead of the actual folders that already exist. Yeah, I deleted it, that's on me. I deleted a folder that I didn't make, and that I didn't put anything into. Microsoft did that, onedrive did that. You need to get Gates' balls out of your mouth and stop making excuses for Microsoft treating people's computers like it's the company's property.>>100178896Please, read the thread before commenting. That's not what happened and I've explained it like 6 fuckin times.
>>100170320>Retard doesn't keep backups>Loses everything>Gets mad at someone elsePottery
>>100178920Yeah, I should've kept backups. No fucking shit, bitch. For the 20th goddamn time, yes, I should have kept backups.That does NOT excuse my OS fucking around with my files and my directories without my knowledge or my permission. $20 says you're posting from your google phone
>>100170320>It's everyone else's fault that I don't know wtf I'm doing with data.Windows, Linux, and applel are all excellent OSes if you know what youre doingKek
I wonder how much microsoft pays these clowns, or worse, do they defend the company's honor for free?
>>100178936>$20 says you're posting from your Google phoneI feel called out, but you're still retarded.
>>100178950What I'M doing? I saved my pictures in my pictures folder, and my documents in my documents folder. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, instead made copies of those folders within onedrive, made the explorer redirect to the onedrive directory instead of the actual folders (which still exist), and did all this without asking or informing. There's absolutely no reason for this level of obfuscation. It's not even incompetence on their part, but an actively malicious attempt to have greater control over your computer and to get more money from you. The average user does not need or want this "service" but it's still integrated deeply into the OS itself, even if you disable it.
>>100178987If your hard drive took a massive shit and died without any hope of recovery, would you screech about Toshiba or Seagate instead?
>>100179001If it was new then yeah, otherwise no. What's with you faggots and your dramatic language?>screeching>blaming everyoneetc etc. from the script?The OS lied to me about where my files were being kept. You can keep trying to change the subject, but it's not going to work. Literally millions of people have had similar problems with this onedrive garbage. It is designed to fuck you unless you pay them.
>>100178987>What I'M doing? I saved my pictures in my pictures folder, and my documents in my documents folder. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, instead made copies of those folders within onedrive, made the explorer redirect to the onedrive directory instead of the actual folders (which still exist), and did all this without asking or informing.

It's not even incompetence on their part, but an actively malicious attempt to have greater control over your computer and to get more money from you. The average user does not need or want this "service" but it's still integrated deeply into the OS itself, even if you disable it.So in your mind what would be better? An OS that you would make your own directories, name them yourself and place them where you want them? Would it be a great os if it had cmd line baked in with Robocopy so you can /MIR your boot drive to your secondary drive then /MIR that to your external back up drive?Oh shit, guess what? You can do all that on Windblows. You don't have to go anywhere else to have a basic OS.
>>100170320Lemme get this straight. >using Windows, Microsoft product>actually using built in directories >keeping your entire life on the PC you daily>no backups of anything anywhere>delete the files yourself>ignore warnings while deleting files>obviously don’t know shit about file recovery >rage at MicrosoftIdk man I hate Microsoft more than anybody. It just seems like you made every mistake possible.
>>100179028>What's with you faggots and your dramatic language?NTA however the OP reads as a massive homoerotic screech fest with unnecessary drama
>>100179049Or, it could just keep doing what it's done for the past 20 fucking years, and have this onedrive shit as an opt-in service, for those few who want it or have use for it. Instead, it actively disguises its presence on the computer and makes itself a middleman in your main directories.
>>100179068yeah excuse me if the OP is a bit emotional, I was and am emotional, losing pictures of dead friends and family, as well as a ton of other meaningful images (not to mention my collection of images from here since like 2009) because my files were not going where I thought I put them (because the file browser itself redirects to onedrive) upset me a bit. My apologies, faggot.
>>100179079>actively disguises its presence on the computer and makes itself a middleman in your main directories.That's soo bizarre. It never did that to me and I have 3 windblows machines 2 with win 10 and 1 with win 11.Why isn't there more people with your complaint on this board? Oh maybe because they aren't raging retards that refuse to learn from their own mistakes.
>>100179028>the OS lied to meNo. You being illiterate doesn't mean the OS lied to you.You're a moron
>>100179103I accept your apology and concession and no I won't let you use my penis for your sexual fulfillment.
>>100179062>using Windows, Microsoft productnot by choice. again.>actually using built in directories the same directories I've used since ME and XP without an issue. but, despite being the same in appearance, and despite the explorer pretending as much, they are no longer the same because onedrive is in the middle.>keeping your entire life on the PC you dailysorry, I only have one computer.>no backups of anything anywhereyeah, my mistake here.>delete the files yourselfI deleted a onedrive folder. I didn't know that all my pictures and documents were being redirected into that folder, instead of the normal directories that still exist, but are unused.>ignore warnings while deleting filesthere were no warnings.>obviously don’t know shit about file recovery I've used recuva and dmde to recover what I could. Very little.>rage at Microsoftyes. fuck them. Not that long ago, a forced update made the computer forget that it had a fuckin GPU and that was a whole goddamn mess to fix.
>>100179103Considering how stupid you are I'm sure your friends and family are glad there is now less evidence you had any form of relationship with them.
>>100179124Why be like this? When you open the "pictures" folder, you generally expect it to be /user/pictures right? Not user/onedrive/pictures. The OS did this by itself without informing or asking.>>100179149did you work on onedrive?
>>100179147>I'm poor>I make mistakes>And I'm angry about my lifeKek. Get a job, stop fucking up and get over your own stupidity to start.
>>100179147>not by choice Microsoft holding a gun to your head forcing you to use their shitty OS, use their user folders (which nobody who knows anything about computers does), and then delete your own files?
>>100179177yes, that's exactly what happened.>>100179173this is not a real person.
>>100179168All of YOUR mistakes could have been avoided by reading.Maybe from now on you will read things.
>>100179168>expect it to be /user/pictures right? Not user/onedrive/picturesSo now you're admitting that if you had used the command line for everything you could've avoided this scenario altogether?You know windows has a fully functioning command line right?
>>100179168I don't even use windows.I also don't try to shift blame when I fuck up. I learn from it and move on.
>>100179191>Not realOh stfu, you raging cock addict. This thread has to be bait at this point.
>>100179200Read what? Read the documentation on a service I didn't install, didn't use, didn't ask for, and disabled 2 years ago, yet still kept popping up on my computer? Where does it say that the explorer now automatically redirects to a onedrive folder instead of the actual folders that it has always used? Why are the folders named the same? Why is this fact hidden from the user? Why change something so fundamental without asking or informing? >>100179202yeah my bad for using a GUI on my daily driver. forgive me.>>100179225holy shit you guys have to be bots or shills, you keep saying the same fucking things over and over and I'm tired of repeating myself. read the thread or stop posting the same exact comment that has already been posted 5+ times. Yes I fucked up when I deleted the folder. microsoft fucked up when it put all my shit in there without telling me or asking me, and intentionally hiding the fact with built in explorer redirects.>>100179237suck my dick, bitch.
>>100179258>why does everyone keep calling me a retard?Because you are a retard. The sooner you understand that the sooner you can actually learn something from this experience. All you've done so far is shift blame towards microsoft when you're the only one responsible.
>>100179285once again. When I save something in the pictures folder, I expect it to be in the pictures folder, not the onedrive folder. Call me crazy.
>>100179258>Read what?How about we start with the absolute basics. First thing maybe you should have read: the dialog window saying you're about to delete a folder permanently>but I didn't knowYou've said this a billion times that the data you lost was incredibly precious to you and that is absolutely irreplaceable and yet before deleting you didn't even think that maybe you should actually double check?
>>100179258>I prefer the GUI thoOkay, so what do you want? Full control via the command line? Or to work with an OS that has a GUI for the uninitiated like yourself?You're best to understand that this applies to everything in your life you 45 year old zoomer.You can't blame others for your lack of control if you go through life trying to be compliant with everything.Use Linux and no not mint, Linux and see how much more successful you are at not fucking yourself. However we all know you're just going to bitch and moan about Linux as well.Then when you go to team applel, you're just going to complain about that shitty locked down OS as well.The only people that complain about others when they themselves are incompetent are women and your Op sounds a lot like an overly emotional woman.
only redditors hate onedrive
>>100179299>Muh expectations muh expectationsYou just posted that you were using user/onedrive/pictures and failed to focus on where you were saving your shit.This is why everyone is calling you retarded
>>100170320This is why I'm still running Windows 7. It's not your fault OP, there are a lot of engineers working for Microsoft who frankly deserve to be redacted for what they've done to home computing.>>100170770They inundate you with so many of these popups that it's not unreasonable to think he could have clicked it by accident with no option to cancel it. It's a blatantly user-hostile practice that you'd only be defending if you were a Pajeet working in Redmond.>>100173482The other thing to consider is that the average user will have no idea what keeping the files local even means - they just see a place to save it and they save it there. Google, Apple, and Microsoft KNOW this but they also want to mine your data and make you rent it back from them forever, so they're happy to do things like this.The OS-as-Botnet model has improved security, sure, but when the OS itself is making modifications to the system that are contrary to the user's interests, does it really matter?
>>100179343>the dialog window saying you're about to delete a folder permanentlyyes, the window that said I'm deleting the onedrive folder. I read it. What I didn't know is that the OS has put all my shit in there instead of the pre-existing folders. Why would I doublecheck the contents of a folder I hadn't (knowingly) used for 2 years? Yeah I get it, I should have been more careful, it was me who made the mistake, but the fact that this can even happen is ridiculous. It is disguised and integrated into the system.>>100179344I am so tired of repeating myself for you stupid faggots who read the OP and then leave a youtube style comment. I used Linus for years, I had to go back to Windows for compatibility with external things.
>>100179370Which one of these links do you think leads to a onedrive folder, and which ones do you think lead to normal, local directories?
Weird. My Apple iCloud never had this issue.
>>100179412hint: almost all over those go to the onedrive folder.
>>100179445Network cuz its online or somting
>>100175515>I used to use Mint, but I had to go back to Windows for external reasons (not gaming)You de-transitioned?
>>100179364>UNPOPULAR OPINION>I KNOW I'LL GET DOWNBOATED FOR THIS BUT >[the exact same shit every other thread is saying]waow so brave
>>100179412>I'm a Linux user, I prefer the command lineOkay, so why are you fucking around with a gui that you're having trouble with if you know you can see the dir on the command line and read where it's going?And no I'm not going to just answer the question because at this point you're beginning to behave like a nigger
>>100170320why are you on windows??
>>100179472I don't prefer the command line, don't know what gave you that idea. I used Mint, the most basic bitch linux distro I'm aware of. And yes, it used to be that when you were using the file explorer, it showed you the full directory at the top, like a browser with a URL. It no longer does that.once again, forgive my ignorance for thinking that saving my pictures in the pictures folder put the pictures in the pictures folder, the same way it has for the last 20 fucking years that I have used Windows.
>>100179400>I'm getting tiredWell? Did you learn that you can use windows without the GUI and have the experience you're looking for?You're like the faggots on /o/ that complain about automatic transmissions when they themselves could've bought a standard transmission
>>100170320Yeah, OP, same thing happened to me in a corporate environment.Microsoft is just an awful company and since king pajeet became CEO all the very real complaints everyone had about it had multiplied by 50.The only way to seriously use any modern version of Windows is with scripts that disable everything such as Ameliorated Windows.I'm sorry you had this shit happening.
>>100179531I just don't want to OS to lie to me, that's all. see this image ( >>100179412)If I wanted to save things in onedrive, I would select the onedrive folder and save there. instead, when I select almost any of those options, it still saves under onedrive. That's bullshit and you know it.yes, if I had known, I could have avoided this problem. yes, if I had assumed, for some reason, that the traditional file structure had been completely subverted and then this change was hidden by built in folder redirects, I could have avoided this problem.
>>100179547thanks anon, I appreciate it. I don't know what's up with a lot of the posters ITT.
>>100179460>You de-transitioned?M$ is gayer than Linux at this point.
>>100179603Not sure how long you've been here but /g/ has always been a place for bitter, unsuccessful men to be as mean as possible.You'll always be blamed for not having 110% knowledge of the systems you're using and it brings together the worst kind of shill: the one who does it for free.
>>100179412>this moron also uses bitlockerHoly shit you're beyond fucking help
>>100179400Why wouldn't you double check what is inside a folder before deleting it? Who does this shit?
>>100179703what makes you think that? I don't.>>100179744I figured it was just a remnant folder from when I disabled onedrive two years ago. It turns out, despite disabling it, my default directories were still being redirected into that folder. Stupid mistake, I know, but there's no reason all my shit should've been in there in the first place.
>>100179568>The OS liedNo your eyes deceived you. You know damn well that you could've read the path and known exactly where your shit was going. But you go lazy and that's what happens to lazy people.
>>100179651>Not sure how long you've been here but /g/ has always been a place for bitter, unsuccessful men to be as mean as possible.Its a place for low_t types to piss and moan like a group of barren hens. It got tiresome a long time ago but there is some genuinely good info here from time to time.
>>100179760There is a reason all your shit was there, you accepted it. This is not the default behavior.Regardless only a clueless idiot would delete a folder without checking what's inside
>>100179796again>>100179412yes, I could have, had I known there was any need to do so. you can whine and moan about it all day, but this is shitty design. almost all of those go into onedrive, despite that seeming to be a separate option.
>>100179801>It got tiresome a long time ago but there is some genuinely good info here from time to time.I guess I'm old but that seems like every other board now. An endless stream of low effort shit with some hidden diamonds here and there.I really miss some of the other chans, especially double chan.
>>100179760>I don't.you do, you just don't know about it because, and this is starting to become the theme of this thread, you're a clueless idiot
>>100179818most people tend to delete malware when they see it. yes, clearly I should have checked. no shit. no shit. no shit. thank you for your observation. This is absolutely default behavior, I promise you that I never chose to use this garbage, or to redirect my shit there.>>100179830I miss it too, anon.
>>100179840Once again, what makes you think that? Or are you just gonna rub your dick some more?
>>100179850>malware>a folderRetard. And you wonder why nobody sympathizes with you.
>>100179872yes, onedrive is malware, and yes, malware often creates folders and files on a computer. It also likes to hide its presence and do hidden redirects to make itself harder to find and eliminate, while doing its thing without the user's knowledge. it also likes to pretend that you got rid of it, while still hiding somewhere. Crazy huh
>>100179824>AgainDoes this mean you've got full satisfaction from your limp wristed blog today, lass?
>>100179894so, rubbing your dick some more. right on, big fella
>>100179870I could explain, sure but instead I'll be here to make fun of you losing access to your entire machine in the future because I'm sure you'll create a thread about it as well.
>>100179830I've been here off and on since '04 and in the past 2 years I have seen some faggotry and idiocy I didn't know possible.
>>100179905I struggle to believe there are people unironically defending Microsoft and OneDrive on /g/.
>>100179890Again >a folder>malware
>>100179915>Suddenly calling out some retard for his retard is defending somethingRead the thread
>>100179919Are you legitimately autistic? Let me help>onedrive is malware>see a folder that I didn't create called onedrive years after I thought I removed onedrive>delete it
>>100179915>making fun of a retard who can't even operate Windows without fucking everything up means you're defending Microsoft lol, lmao even
it makes me feel better, even though all my shit is gone forever, that at least I will have new shit before long, while these fat fucks post in >tfw no gf threads.
>>100179931Except you did create that folder and all the folders and files inside it. And then you deleted it and cried and pissed your pants because of it
>>100179957>No gfWrong board, goto >>>/r9k/ with that shit
>>100179978that's a cool story, anon.
>>100179930>>100179939are you happy? do you enjoy your day to day life? For some reason it doesn't seem like it.
>redditor stumbles upon /g/>cries about being retarded expecting sympathetic replies>get merciless mocked instead
>>100180020I've been using various chans since 2009. Crazy how you microsoft faggots just make up stories to defend this bullshit.
>>100180032Sure you have son
>>100180048even if I was 12 and came straight from fucking tumblr, this onedrive shit is still absurd and completely bullshit how it hides itself and fucks with your directories without permission.
>>100180009>Do you enjoy your lifeI try to help every raging retard I can when I see one helplessly flailing around on my board because OSes are "too hard" for them.

>>100170320>Trusting windows with personal filesMan... First of all keep all your shit in external drives. Second of all buy a cheap second hand mac and only keep windows for vidyagaemz. It will never do this kind of shit especially if you don't have an apple acount.
>>100171992He’s literally me.
>>100180478So it seems...
Out with the old, in with the new.
>>100179412c and d drives are usually localhowever its impossible to know for sure as we aren’t the ones that set up your folder system. when i click downloads its the c drive but i also have a download folder in my d drive which is the one i download files to, i install mostly to c. i dont use onedrive on my pc, i do on my phone.
>>100179905i know and im a noob :p
OneDrive folders are separate and just get relinked in the Explorer UI. The non-onedrive variants of the folders should still be there and you should be able to see them by booting a linux USB livestick
>>100170320>10 years of irreplaceable photos and documentsWhy must people always act so melodramatic when they lose data through their own idiocy? If it was actually irreplaceable, you would have a working backup. What you actually lost was a bunch of shit you only ever intended to keep squirreled away and maybe passingly look at once in a blue moon, like a parent keeping a shitty ribbon their kid won at an elementary school science fair.
>>100181935actually, I liked to get drunk and look through the old pictures when I'm feeling nostalgic or missing old friends. It was irreplaceable, and I was a fool not to make backups. Not to mention, all my professional related documents from work and school, but honestly I'm far less concerned about that. Losing my years of 4chan images and OC is a bigger concern than the documents, but the pictures hurt the most. It wasn't just old shit I didn't care about.>>100181927Really? The two file recovery programs I used said most of it was unrecoverable, because I downloaded a massive file after deleting the stuff (that's why I deleted it)
>>100170390software that unnecessarily creates the conditions in which grave user error is more likely is bad software
Microshit could add a new function where pressing alt + caps lock immediately reformats your main drive and when some anon accidentally ruins his life with it they'd appear to say "skill issue? this is as clear a case of user error as it gets"
>>100181982There should be a OneDrive\Pictures and a Pictures in your user folder. You probably won't be able to see them with explorer. If you didn't delete anything from your user folder it should still be there. Just boot up a linux live stick. Doesn't cost you anything.
>>100182103It's worth a shot, thanks anon. I think I already have a bootable mint stick somewhere around here.
>>100170320It could be in the OneDrive recycle garbage folder or try a file recovery program.
Time to install linux mint!
>>100170320This is why you follow the 3-2-1 backup rule. For me it's a 2-bay NAS synced with cryptomator+dropbox.
>>100170381>Purchase computer that comes with application that handles files and copies them to cloud>In a seething rage, uninstall application 4 no raisen. >Perhaps you were molested by a cloud as a child and the sight of the one drive logo scares you>Lose all your filesI understand that you're mad, but this is your fault.

>>100171992>that lengthy screechingRIP in pieces, my sides

>>100170320>and then when I deleted their shit, all my shit is gonehuh?you mean the folders show your files but it's just streaming stuff off the cloud? you must be retarded if you've never figured it out when you're disconnected from the internet or maybe you never had your internet disconnected and that's understandable but who the fuck uses onedrive? and why did you delete the cloud one without checking your local copy?
>>100175159
>>100180534>shitania being shittyas expected of that waste of space
>>100170320>hijacked my Documents, Pictures, Desktop etc folders, copied that shit to their serversunderstandable. that is the fucking botnet>and removed my local copies,but why? you knew they copied your shit, why did you remove your local copy?>and then when I deleted their shit, all my shit is gonebut why? why did you delete your cloud copy? you could just move your local copy to other random folder on C:// or some shit and it won't start syncing. also that's like the first thing you do when you get a windows pc, disable all that cloud shit, it was there back in windows 8, they called it skydrive, and onedrive/skydrive would take all of your wifi keys and uefi/tpm keys and sync it to the cloud so the NSA can just unlock your home network or home PC when you're not around.now that you learned the hard way, I hope you get the lesson.>I have repeatedly disabled onedrive since getting my computerturn off the stupid updates. it is designed so the NSA will be in your home every time you receive a magic update which flips your settings.
First thing i noticed upon exploring Winhoes 11 was that Onedrive is shoehorned into user files.I quickly turned to the registry editor to scrub it out completely and redirect everything to local. There was a far easier way to do this, I found out later, but it has been smooth sailing since. Also disabled Start Menu ads, really simple.
>>100183419
>>100170320Another victim of corpocuck condescension >no, you didn't mean to do that, what you meant to do is achchyually this (moves all your shit to ze cloud)
>>100178842this.I deployed it in a workplace for staff and it's just too fucking confusing for boomers. the icons are nonsensical and using the app is like pulling teeth. there's not even a fucking LOG of what files were uploaded or downloaded visible from the app, it's mostly just guesswork and hoping that shit actually synced properly
>>100170381if you didn't have backups elsewhere it's still your fault. If your HDD died randomly you still would've lost them and yes, you're a retard for just deleting the one drive folder without bothering to see what was in it. Also did the green checks and blue clouds in the file explorer not give you the hint to see what it was all about?
You only have yourself to blame winbloze luser lmfao
>>100170919It's 100% OPs fault. The one drive folder is pretty much your home directory. Retard saw it for the first time and just deleted it without even checking what was in it. If he just DISABLED the one drive program he would've been fine. When he realized he couldn't retrieve his files he could've just reenabled ti and everything would've been there.
>>100183829I disabled it 2 years ago. Didn't know that Windows was still saving all my shit in there.
>>100183596just replace them with the poo emoji or better yet don't force that log of shit down my THROTE
>>100171604I'm certain "precious pictures of friends" is not what OP is seething about losing
>>100175495I'm wondering, exactly what means did you us to delete the onedrive folder?
>>100170457This. OP had a single copy of his files on a single computer. That computer could have been stolen, damaged, lost and so on. But clearly OP didn't give a shit about his "10 years of irreplaceable photos and documents" because he did fuck all to protect them.
>>100178325>I'm not using Windows by choice.Yes you are, retard. If it was a work computer you wouldn't have all your private files in there.
>>100184044Dumb shits misuse their work machines all the time.
>>100170320I disabled it when i first built this current PC that I am using, and it never turned itself back on or anything. You fucked up somewhere
>>100170320You have 30 days to recover deleted files from the one drive bin, have you checked there?
>>100185079excellent point
>>100185079think he tried recuva though
>>100170320yeah that's a skill issue sorrydo better
>>100185252try helping instead of being a lazy ass. why is it a skill issue? do tell..
>>100185245Yes, but the One Drive bin is on the website. He might find everything there. I upload my personal pics and vids like OP (but I also upload them to a nextcloud instance just in case). You can find whatever gets deleted within 30 days and recover it. However, I've seen that at times when files get moved instead of deleted, do disappear without trace. Happened to a friend who moved a bunch of graphical assets out of the OneDrive folder, didn't lose the files, but OneDrive didn't report the files again, lost the storage space, and the bin didn't show them.
>>100170320lol install linux, i could use another laugh.
>>100170320>no backups>relying on a megacorp to keep his stuff safeYou only have yourself to blame. I'm sorry for your loss
>>100170320My customized autobackup also been ruined since I started using Win10 years ago. I never bothered to fix it, it feels like spaghetti all over place.
>>100170320Rage bait. You can recover deleted items from onedrive's recycle bin. If you are a paying nigger cattle, there are two layers of recycle bin on their slop. Stop being such a dramatic nigger faggot.
Been using syncthing since onedrive got rid of an afternoon of work because of some version conflict or some shit once and that hasnt wronged me yet in the past 2-3 years
>>100170320>copied that shit to their servers and removed my local copies,Without your consent? That's a criminal act. I'm serious. Talk to the police.
>>100179412The padlock icons on your drives mean they have encryption, if you ever move the drives and put them in other PCs you're gonna get fucked. Turn it off asap. Search "bitlocker" or "encryption" into settings.
>>100170320>now he realizes it's someone else's computer
>>100170419>here's why it doesn't have mass shootingsoff topic but what was their conclusion for this? surly they didn't say because it's a mostly white nation?
>>100191178because schizo whites can easily be duped by the FBI/CIA into doing mass shootings.
>>100190585this. you vill own nothing
I canceled my O365 after Excel managed to fuck up my most important spreadsheet in such a manner that reverting to older version didn't fix it. Only LibreOffice could open and save it. That was a scare.
>>100191743>duped by the FBI/CIAwhy them and not the KKK and such?bullshitus maximus
>>100170320After reading the thread, OP is just retarded. OP deleted the OneDrive folder that was saved locally on his machine where he was saving his files to instead of choosing other directories. The first thing I did with OneDrive was remove it from my PC. No way to accidentally save to that folder, even though it works just like any other folder. Ironically, if OP knew how to use OneDrive, all of these deleted files may be able to be recovered by downloading them from OneDrive if they were uploaded there as OneDrive should check the OneDrive folder if the program is launched. Seeing how OP is a techlet, and OneDrive was probably on startup, it likely was syncing to his OneDrive folder making backups of his files. OP says that he is unable to delete OneDrive. SKILL ISSUE. It's very possible to remove it entirely from Windows. I've even done the harder task of completely disabling and removing Windows Update and the processes that reactivate/reinstall Windows Update. Needed to take over Admin from TrustedInstaller to do it but that shit is nuked from my PC. If you know how to give yourself Admin over everything, you can do whatever and MS can't stop you. But it has been more difficult to do with each iteration of Windows.OP should invest in external hard drives and copy all of his files to them to make a backup. I haven't liked Best Buy for a while, but if I need an external hard drive, I can get a 5 TB for under $200 same day as I have a location only 15 minutes from me. Sadly they are the only store in my area that really sells anything tech, but if I don't want to order one online I can go there and pick one up and start to copy my files over in under 30 minutes instead of waiting for shipping.ALWAYS backup your files onto another hard drive before deleting shit to make space.
>>100171583I'm not putting my files in a cloud location where I have no direct control over them. Your server could be shut down whenever and I cannot stop you. If my files are local, I have the control over them, not you. Fuck off.
>>100170405if you've been using computers for so long why do you still not know how to use one?
Android is the best OS in existence. It lacks many programs, but it does just fucking work. Think about it logically.
>>100170320>just lost 10 years of irreplaceable photos and documentsF
>>100192496>it lacks many programsyou need programs to do your worklack of programs means you can't do your work>it does just fucking workThinking about it logically, if I can't do something with the OS, than it doesn't just fucking work. Even if the issue is due to lack of a program.>b-but that's not the OS's fault!It is if devs don't make programs for the OS.
>>100192428Because the KKK hasn't been a serious organization for decades and none of the mass shooters had connections to them but were always on some kind of watchlist or even in contact with an agent (ie buffalo shooter) yet the FBI never seems to be able to stop them.
>>100170320You didn't have a backup so you get what you deserve faggot.
>>100170320>goydrive
>>100170320>300 repliesis this a real story or copypasta? It seems too dumb to be real.
>>100183920that response was OP (me)
>>100192444yes, it was my mistake, but see this image ( >>100179412 )foolishly, I thought that it would only save my files if I selected the onedrive directory, and the others would be normal/local. that was not the case.
>>100170320The whole OneDrive thing is just retarded and confusing to normfags. I gave some private tutoring in programming for a student last year and he used windows. When he went to the toilet, I just closed and disabled OneDrive. He came back and couldn't find his files that he put on the Desktop. We searched for a while and it turned out even the fucking Desktop was part of FagDrive. Incredible. But he didn't lose anything. He just started that shit again and it synced everything back.Even to him it was news. He didn't even notice that every file was synced to Microshit servers and it wasn't even his real Desktop.This is literal malware, you are right in that, regardless of the stupid mistake of deleting something without first checking the folder.
