I am trying to recover some files from a laptop which has unfortunately crashed and the OneDrive folder online is full. However there is some work in that folder which for Uni which I desperately need which hasn't backed up to OneDrive. This is due to the new Windows 10 Update storing the Documents on OneDrive automatically (Thanks Microsoft).

I can access the windows partition via a Ubuntu live environment, however the OneDrive folder is a symbolic link (.ink) to another area of the hard drive with no clear indication on where it would be.

Does anyone know where this folder might lie?

If this is a symbolic link, then the user has relocated his OneDrive folder.

As you are using Linux, see the post How do I dump information from a Windows *.lnk shortcut on Linux?, where the following was proposed:

It seems there aren't a lot of programs to do this...I found two Perl scripts that kinda work.

lslnk.pl and lnk-parse

Use them like this: <whicheverscript> Name.lnk
