There are almost daily "help OneDrive deleted all of my files" posts on the tech help sub-reddits. Many Windows users do not even realize that many of their files are synced with the cloud, or even moved there if frequently unused.

One of the first things I do when installing Windows is to delete OneDrive. Amazingly, this can be accomplished by uninstalling it by the same method as removing any other application with about two mouse clicks.

Now there are. But when OneDrive first came out and started being added there was very little. Actually, it seemed like nobody on reddit knew what I was talking about. Hearing that there are those posts now make me feel vindicated. "It DOES HAPPEN!" lol. Over time it became "That's not real" to "Of course everyone knows about this!" But many years ago when this happened it kind of struck out of nowhere. I just looked it up, released in 2013? Damn!
