    OneDrive took my files and I don't know how to get them back


    This morning when I turned on my PC there was a ton of red X marks on my files- completely out of nowhere, not sure what I did. When I opened folders, the images in them wouldn't preview like they used to and also had red X marks. Googled it and found out it was OneDrive, and that the problem could be solved if I just unsynced in OneDrive settings. So I did that, and now all of the files from my desktop and my documents folder are just gone??? I don't know how to get them back, but I see them in the OneDrive folder. I just want to have them back and completely rid the PC of OneDrive.

    :)
