Hello guys,

 

Dell Optoplec 7050: W10.

 

Not sure what key/keys I pressed, but I found OneDrive Uploading my Dekstop (to OneDrive) and slowing/preventing me from loading a Website. I stopped OneDrive from loading, but then found that more than 2/3rd of my Desktop folders missing.

 

My other PC, Dell Optiplex 7010: W10, Logs in to the same Microsoft Account. I checked some Files, including it's Recycle Bin.

 

It seems to me that the 7050 Desktop is in the 7010 Recycle Bin. I need to get the Folder/Files but as I am not good at this I have not tried to. 

 

Any advise on this, please?

 

Thank you

You probably need to re-allow OneDrive to load, move your desktop items to a temporary location outside the scope of OneDrive, disallow OneDrive from handling your desktop files, and finally move your files back to the desktop.
