Files deleted from OneDrive + computer not found by PhotoRec

Hello,

I recently synced my files with OneDrive and misinterpreted some online instructions for un-syncing a folder. I ended up permanently deleting a folder containing most of my photos. The folder in question had already partially synced but not all of the photos had made it online yet. I can use the OneDrive restore function to recover the photos that had already synced, but not the rest of them. I've tried using PhotoRec and TestDisk, but when I navigate to the correct directory, the deleted files do not show up. This was only one day ago, so I don't think they should have been overwritten by now. I'm wondering if the added OneDrive element complicates this somehow. Thank you!

Kevin

Basically you deleted files locally and you are unable to recover them.
You did not specify anything about your local storage - can't help you.
I am astonished again and again how many people assume that I incorporate a crystal ball, knowing everything about their equipment - I apologize, I do not.
