Hello,

My account has been hacked, I got it back, but they exported, deleted and now extort me with my onedrive files. This account is not currently used, but I think there may be some data left in the onedrive.

Does it is possible to recover my onedrive ?

    If the hacker deleted your OneDrive files and emptied the recycle bin, your files cannot be recovered.

If you accidentally delete a file or folder in OneDrive, you may be able to recover it later from the OneDrive recycle bin, and if you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you can even restore your entire OneDrive if something goes wrong.

    Try to use OneDrive online

    Click this link to open OneDrive page:

    If you had synced copies of your OneDrive files on your hard drive that were deleted when you signed in to OneDrive, you may be able to recover them. Check out data recovery software or data recovery services. A computer repair shop might be able to recover deleted data from your hard drive.
