Has anyone else downloaded this app and found it deleted all your local Windows PC-based user files? If so, how did you recover them?

Title is descriptive enough! Any help greatly appreciated.


(Apple app concerned here is "iCloud for Windows", otherwise also known as "iCloud for PC", or "Outlook iCloud", or some similar variation.)

Ask this is in Microsoft's Forums: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com. Being you are using Windows, and not a Mac here, you'll likely get the answer you need there.


About "Reinstalling"

Restore your PC from a backup. But, with that being of no option, you need to "reinstall" the entire Operating System. As for reinstalling applications, contact the Developer, asking for license corrects so that you can get the reinstalls.
