I just have a regular home license and one day my one drive was empty. The one drive I've pulled everything out of and after windows updates everything would be back in there again. Microsoft basically said there was nothing that could be done to recover my data. I switched to Linux that day. Like I specifically removed my files and turned off one drive in multiple occasions. And they turn it back on and move the My Documents folder back with no warning breaking folder paths for games. Such a shit company.
That is so fucked up.
I remember that happening, I think they did eventually fix that
Keep in mind that you need backups perhaps moreso than you did when using OneDrive - 3-2-1 being robust without going crazy.
Oh that's exactly how I wasn't screwed. I had just done my backup 5 days before.
