"Microsoft Locked My Account – I Lost 30 Years of Photos and Work"

I’m beyond frustrated. Microsoft randomly locked my account after I moved 30 years' worth of irreplaceable photos and work to OneDrive. I was consolidating data from multiple old drives before a major move—drives I had to discard due to space and relocation constraints. The plan was simple: upload to OneDrive, then transfer to a new drive later. Instead, Microsoft suspended my account without warning, reason, or any legitimate recourse.
