The term OneDrive for Business is often used interchangeably with OneDrive for Work and School. Both refer to the same service, which is a part of Microsoft 365 and designed for organizations. It allows employees or students to store, share, and collaborate on work or school documents with co-workers or classmates.

If you see pages referencing both Onedrive Personal and OneDrive for Business or OneDrive for Work and School, ignore the steps for OneDrive Personal.

 

 

What happens when I delete a synced file?

When you delete a synced online-only file from your device, it is removed from all devices and from the cloud. But you can restore such deleted files and folders by going in your web browser to the recycle bin in your OneDrive. Select the file there, then select Restore. 

If you've deleted a synced file that has been downloaded to your device, after deletion it will also be in your device's recycle bin.

How long do files stay in the recycle bin?

In OneDrive for work or school, deleted files stay in the recycle bin for up to 93 days.
