I recently hit ctrl-z in explorer after accidentally moving some files and instead of moving back, they just disappeared. I couldn't believe it. I had to recover them from a remote backup.

Shit, I once irreversibly lost a document I spent an hour on due to something like that. It’s ridiculous.

I saved a ppt in OneDrive the other day and it disappeared. It hadn’t synced, but it didn’t only show locally, it had completely disappeared!

I closed ppt and re-opened but corp IT has disabled history in ppt so I couldn’t get to it again.

It just magically showed up an hour later……..

Some of these rules that security come up with are amazing.

Really? I've never had that problem. Can you get a repro scenario?

I've had it happen before. It's a bit more complicated but I can't remember an exact repro. Something like delete, undo, redo, undo.

Nah, it's more like not all deletions are equal. It probably has to do with the user launching the event on the backend, if I were to guess, but sometimes if you delete something through Explorer, it isn't added to the undo history. Some of these I've seen not end up in the recycle bin despite not permanently deleting them, hence why I wouldn't be surprised if it was another user being used for these edge-cases. The deleted items would then be added to that user's recycle bin and be unavailable to the actual user's undo history.

Basically; not really sure, just making a wild guess, but I've encountered similar edge-cases before.
