I am trying to view the backups of my Lumia 640 on OneDrive.

When I login to the site it says 7.52GB out of 5GB used (???) but shows an empty folder.

Are the backups hidden? Is there a way to reveal them?

I see no links to PC.

None of the suggestions in the list found anything.

Should be here on the main page when you login.
An image from '7.52GB of 5GB used but OneDrive shows empty folder'. A browser window shows OneDrive interface with 'PCs' menu highlighted on the left sidebar.

I would also check in the recycle bin.

Also Bottom left, click on the # used of #GB
Then kind of top middle "What's taking up space?"

Bingo!!! Thank you.

You know, I vaguely recalled that a long time ago I knew that, but I guess my memory it's not what it used to be.

Best,
