Without warning, Onedrive has completely fragmented my desktop and many files are lost or vanished. This is most annoying and immensely time wasting.

The problem is now where to find them and avoid having this happening ever again. Debugging is taking far longer then the time actually taken using the notebook for it´s purpose. This doesn´t make any sense at all.

My faith in Onedrive has been completely shattered as has my experience using MSoft. If anyone can suggest a sensible solution then I´m listening.

    Same issue. Without warning the desktop iconfiles have vanished. How to recover them exactly as they were before seems impossible. The files are totally scrambled. Where to start ? I´m spending more time debugging the notebook than actual time using it for a particular purpose. There are always issues. FHS stop onedrive from cribbing files without user authorization.
