something deletes my crap

[vans]

so ive taken a short break from ror a while back and when i came back alot of my mods were just gone, couldnt spawn them.
so far, dodge magnum, a few skinpacks, and the rally gt caravan have vanished from the selector.
so what the heck is getting rid of my stuff
(no one has used this pc in that time and no one but me has access, all i did on it in the meantime was play games on the xbox gamepass app)

The game can't delete things unless prompted to, and it definitely can't delete things if it's not open.

could it be possible onedrive is deleting everything? its rubbish, windows forces it on me and when i tell it to stop saving crap there, it goes back on the next time i boot up

Could be an imminent drive failure or malware

update: found it all in my garbage bin
im really suspecting onedrive, ive had so much issues with that before

lesson to be learned from this onedrive sucks

OneDrive is a file synchronization service also used in the enterprise space. It will not delete files from your PC unless you explicitly opt into its “Files On-Demand” or another “space-saving” feature that retains your files in the cloud while leaving placeholders on your file system.

So really the only way your files could end up in the trash bin is if you placed it there.

malware then ?

 

[vans]

malware? is there any way to check for that?

Happened on my Ubuntu PC after a interrupted cache rebuild, if I remember correctly. I am not 100% it was that, but half of my mods didn't show up + were showing up as corrupted in the Explorer.

Malwarebytes, probably the best.

Malwarebytes, probably the best.

It's on his website, and I think it works like a standard application

Go to Task manager, select startup and disable OneDrive.
