That happened because you unlinked OneDrive 6 months ago, or it deauthenticated and was never signed back in. Without being connected, it never got the memo that those files were removed so it never deleted those things from there.
The same thing would happen if you uninstalled any other program and then deleted the now local-only files, or if you restored from a 6 months old backup.
My favorite part was when my laptop charger crapped out yesterday, and instead of syncing the super important files that I was working in, and I needed today, onedrive crashed… Piece of shit software
My favourite part is when you log into your work PC, and a bunch of things you deleted 6 months ago have re-appeared on your desktop.
