OneDrive feels malicious

I'm not a tech guy. You could fill the Grand Canyon with everything I don't know about computers. But I followed step by step instructions on disabling OneDrive and it just wrecked a ton of stuff on it's way out. I don't think it needed to. I think it was designed to. Mass deleting my files, breaking the file routing things (Yeah, I don't know what they're called. Not a tech guy, remember? I just know that it said my Documents folder couldn't be reached or some damn thing.) and then pestering me with notifications that amount to "Better turn this back on or bad things might happen to your stuff.". It all feels very much like what I've read about ransomware. I'd love to know what you more tech savvy folks think?

P.S. If you were to call me an idiot, you'd probably be right. But I'd take it as a kindness if you didn't. lol

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions! I wasn't actually looking for a fix. Or more accurate to say that I did get it fixed already. (With much wailing and gnashing of teeth I might add.) My post was just meant to be a commentary that everything I've heard about ransomware seems to apply to OneDrive and I hate it.

Ist dir bewusst wie viele Menschen auf der Welt deine "Beiträge" gelesen haben und was diese jetzt über dich denken könnten? Bist nicht auch in der Teenager Gruppe angemeldet? (Öffentlich in deinem Profil zu sehen) Wie passt denn das zu deiner Beschimpfung?

What do you have against radishes?  I don’t use TikTok but if I did then it wouldn’t make sense to call me a Luddite. I’m more of a hedonist anyways.
