To clarify, Microsoft issued message center notification MC241870 on February 26 to confirm that it applies to OneDrive for Business ( Microsoft 365 roadmap item 70558).

Given the Known Folder Move initiative to relocate files from local drives to OneDrive, it’s entirely possible that some users are confused when they can’t find deleted files in the local recycle bin. The question is whether they’ll remember thereafter. This is very possible for the two weeks after someone sees the warning. The hope must be that users will remember after they’re reminded by this warning.

The nagging continues until the user sets the “don’t show this reminder again” checkbox. Figure 1: OneDrive’s First File Delete warning
