Moderated One Drive File Deletion Question
|
Tom Behler
Hi again, everyone.
Sorry for yet another question, but I’m in learning mode here with regard to using One Drive storage.
Yesterday, when I deleted a bunch of files from my one drive personal account, they were deleted from my new Windows 11 laptop, but I kept getting a notification asking me if I wanted to delete the files on line as well.
This is what I also want to do, but when I hit enter on the yes in response to the notification question, nothing happens, and the deletion notification re-appears.
Is there a way to be sure deleted files are deleted on line as well as on your PC, and if so, how do I accomplish this?
Is there a separate online re-cycle bin on one drive itself, and if so, how do I get to it?
I appreciate everyone’s patience with all my questions lately, but I’m getting there one step at a time.

Tom,
If you keep tabbing in the window, is there a yes
to all?
Also, perhaps if you use the applications key,
instead of the delete key, it is possible that you will get more delete
options.
HTH.

Check your settings in “One Drive”. I believe there you can determine if files are kept online and only deleted from that computer.

You’re probably right.
Now, I have to figure out how to get to the one drive settings.

I found a re-cycle bin on my onedrive web site, and once I emptied that, everything was ok.
The learning continues here.
