If you mean your computer's OneDrive as in the Micro$oft OneDrive program, have you looked on-line at Personal Cloud Storage – Microsoft OneDrive ?
Specifically in the One Drive on-line Recycle bin. One Drive maintains deleted files for about 30 days if I remember correctly.Charles -
I Found them Now How do I Get them Back to My Desktop?

If it's in the trash, right click and "Restore"
Once restored, or from the directory where you found it, Right click over the folder and select "Always keep on this device"

If those files are gone, kaput, and you kept records off all your transactions, try contacting BLW and tell him what happened. Years ago my computer burped and I lost all my BLW files. Even my backups got wiped out. No idea what happened..... I emailed BLW my receipts explaining what happened and they sent all the files I lost. Not a guarantee you can get them replaced, but worth a shot.Comment

My thing these days is TSC. Back when I was messing with MSTS, my main files where in the old TRAINSET folder and I had backups on 3 external drives. That being said, copy your folder and contents back to where you had it, or copy it to a new location along with at least one backup if you have the disk space. External drives are ideal for backup folders.Comment

Now They Are Gone Somewhere! I Give Up!

You will make life much easier by moving anything related to ORTS and MSTS outside of folders controlled by OneDrive. I've mentioned that in the installation tutorials here.
Having a backup copy of your files in a OneDrive folder isn't a bad idea, but your working copy should not be in a OneDrive controlled folder unless you've explicitly set it to keep a local copy as I mentioned above.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

I Had the Downloads in My Train Simulator Folder on my Desktop so I Could Access them Easily. Then all of a Sudden all these Old Folders Popped up on My Desktop from OneDrive and I Deleted them and in the Mess of Folders Being Moved Around I Deleted the Train Simulator Folder Too. I Don't Use OneDrive and I Wish My System Didn't Have it. Why Can't they leave Well Enough Alone and Not Put All these Extra Programs in the Computer,
If I Need to I'll Just Purchase the Ones I Need to reinstall.
Thankyou,

OneDrive has a purpose, unfortunately Microsoft and Apple both make decisions for the consumer without bothering to ask if that's what you wanted.
You should be able to restore deleted items within 30 days.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

You can get rid of one drive. Backup to USB drives.Cheers, Gerry
