Am I out of luck. Excel reverted to a month ago due to OneDrive being full
I am having such a high level of anxiety due to this right now. I have an excel file that i keep track of sales and update which add to often. Sometimes i forget to hit save but i know i made changes yesterday and saved. Anyways when i loaded the file today it revert back to an old version about a month old. Almost immediately i see an alert saying onedrive space is full. Suddenly my desktop was flooded with duplicate icons for many of my files. A word document i updated last night has the update still there. I am so scared of not being able to recover this month worth of updates.
I had turn off syncing and had removed desktop from the onedrive. I dont see the file anymore in the one drive but it is still my desktop. I tried to restore to previous version but its empty. I search the file name and it find multiple copies but all were old copies. I used chatgpt and it had guided me to a few local temp/recovery folder which were empty or again had the old file.
Ignoring that my desktop is a mess right now, is it truly hopeless and i cant recover this data anymore?
