system restore should be in the control panel somewhere, the last point will be whenever your PC last updated something iirc

So something weird just happened.

One of the files I deleted was a text tone in my Music folder called, "Falcon PUNCH!.wav". I decided to search for it in the One Drive website search menu and, to my surprise, it popped up.

"Okay, let's open it."

Then it says, "This item might have been deleted (it wasn't), expired (don't see how that's possible), or you might not have permission to view it. Contact the owner of this item for more information."

What the hell does that mean?

I do have the option to restore my backup I think. I saw a file restore backup in my settings, but I have no idea how to initiate it and it's from late 2015 so if I can avoid that It'd be great.

Hmm

I'd probably avoid that then, you'd lose a fair bit and I don't think it would guarantee it's return.

I'm not too familiar with one drive, but is it a subscription service or something?
sorry i doubt i'll be much help beyond the obvious

if it's the cloud program i think it is, you might be able to get the backups online somehow? <.<

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud equivalent. Up until last week or so when I had to manually restore my laptop, everything was fine and dandy.

It's free but you can buy more storage (which I did).

USB drives aren't large enough. I have over 50 GB of files.

This is one of several reasons why I bought an external. Depending on how much shit is gone, One Drive has like a one year trial for a shit ton amount of space, I think about 1TB, once that year and trial is up, if you don't have it renewed, they're going to delete shit to make room. Its possible that shit might have just gone wrong due to a glitch, but that's unlikely

Anyway that is my theory, fuck cloud storage. You can't fully trust that shit because it all still ends up in a physical computer in a sever room of a company and it runs 24/7 with no breaks.

When it comes to my 1TB external HDD, I no longer have to worry about this shit at all. Everything that I had from my One Drive before, I moved it to my external.

I have an external 2tb hard drive already, but I use the OneDrive for things I use on both my PC and Laptop.

Personally I would take advantage of that 2TB especially since that mishap just happened. I don't trust could storage when it comes to this.

360 cloud storage is an exception but aside from that, fuck it.

I do make good use of it. It's almost full.

But the files that I need on a day-to-day basis or saved on my laptop away from home were on my OneDrive.

Ohhhh. Well I don't agree with the pricing but Dropbox is another option if you have a lot of shit to store.

Check under system restore, sometimes it has "more restore points" or something similar.

Where you the list of restore points shows up, look near the bottom for a button. I can't recall from memory but I  think it offers alternate restore points.

Should be right after you click "system restore", a list will pop up. Once I'm home I can actually tell you more since I'll do it myself.

I'm on windows 7

Control panel>System and Security>Backup and restore>"Recover system settings or your computer">"Open system Restore"

Then once the dialog box shows up it'll show your restore point. Instead of clicking on that, look below that for a check box that says "show more restore points"

Might as well download more RAM and use Google Ultron while you're at it.

after searching the internet i couldn't find a damn thing regarding the whole "permissions" bullshit.

I just reinstalled Windows 10 and my computer is running better now but I'm still a little salty that months work of editing is gone.

I did but nothing showed up. I might call customer service and see if it was something on their end.
