This seems to be a common occurence with our users and OneDrive. One user tried to free up space on their hard drive and deleted 35K documents from a synced document library in SharePoint Online.
The problem is when I try restoring the folders using PowerShell using this command
Get-PnPRecycleBinItem -firststage | ? {($_.DeletedDate -gt $restoreDate) -and ($_.DeletedByEmail -eq 'jane.doe@corp.ca')} | Restore-PnpRecycleBinItem -Force
Restore-PnpRecycleBinItem : A folder with this name "fileserver" already exists in "/sites/siteurl/foldername". To restore the folder, rename the existing folder and try again.
If am able to restore the child items, should I care about restoring the parent folder? Why is it saying it exists if it was deleted and is in the recycle bin?
