Anyone help......?

if you have the desktop client or you are a Windows 8.1 user, the files are sync between the cloud and your pc, if you delete or modify something in OneDrive folder then the changes are going to be aplied to the cloud.... if you use the web form to manage your files you would be safe...

The simple answer is yes, because it is saved in the cloud. You can access them from any other computer/phone. Same goes with other similar solutions like Dropbox and Google Drive.

ps. Have you been infected with Crypotlocker?
