Suspicious folder created in OneDrive

Hello there,

I've been moving files from OneDrive to a personal HDD - TLDR I ereased yesterday all folders and files (except for the Locked Storage) from my OneDrive folder.

This morning I look into my OneDrive and there's a folder created right yesterday, "Документы" which in Russian translates to "Documentation" - I am not Russian, neither have I created such folder.

I have checked the sign-in log, and there're no suspicious movements. Changed the password nevertheless. I cannot find much online except for the basic recommendations. Could this be an automated folder creation issue?

Thank you in advance,

a concerned citzen.

Hello I’m Adeyemi and I’d be happy to help you with your question. It's possible that the "Документы" folder was created automatically by OneDrive or another Microsoft application. Some Microsoft applications, such as OneNote or Office, may create folders in OneDrive to store data or backups. It's also possible that the folder was created by a third-party application that has access to your OneDrive account. If you're concerned about the folder, you can try checking the folder's properties to see if there is any information about when it was created and by which application. You can also check your OneDrive settings to see if any third-party applications have access to your account and revoke access if necessary. It's always a good idea to regularly review your account security and update your password, as you have already done. You can also enable two-factor authentication for added security. I hope this helps! Give back to the Community. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if this reply solved your problem. Click Yes or No below Regards Adeyemi

Hello,

I have the same annoying situation about Документи folder in One drive. I do not have any Russian progs in my PC, also there are no any third-party apps with access to One Drive.

But I have found some values in windows registry (use Regedit) with "Документи" and just deleted them.

Currently watching what will happen next...
