Restore Remote ONEDRIVE files in the Windows 10 Browser (and other versions) and Mac OS

In any browser on the computer, using your Microsoft account you can go to the OneDrive Storage, see the list of deleted files and restore the desired. How to do it:

1. In the browser, go to the site https://onedrive.live.com/ and, if necessary, enter your username and password.
2. In the left pane, select "Basket". If the panel is not displayed, click on the menu button (three strips), or expand the browser window.

   

3. In the basket, select the files you want to restore and click the Restore button to restore them.

   

If the desired file was in the list - you restore it, and it will be available in your previous location.

Unfortunately, the files in the online basket are stored in a limited time - about a month and, if the data you need have been removed earlier, they will not restore them in this way. You can try to use programs for data recovery, to restore on a computer, but the likelihood of success after this period of time on the working computer or laptop is extremely small.
