I was deleting my files from my OneDrive but it apparently also deleted my files from my pc.
It's nowhere to be found in the trash bin because it was "too big" to put there, any way I can get those back? These files are important.
Is there a way to recover lost files?

Hi Mattias,
Please log in to your OneDrive account at this link:
https://onedrive.live.com/
See if the files are intact under the "My files" section.
Also, check the Recycle Bin in OneDrive.
If the files are missing in the OneDrive Recycle bin, try restoring from shadow copy if possible.
Download System Restore Explorer | Nic's Blog:

Run System Restore Explorer and see if restore points were created before the problem was noticed. If so, mount one of those restore points (a.k.a, shadow copies) to see if you can recover them.
(If there are no restore points or shadow copies, this method won't help.)
You can also try Recuva from Piriform.com or EaseUS.
