Your OneDrive account on Campus (https://ucsdcloud-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_health_ucsd_edu) has been migrated to the OneDrive Health tenant.
To access your migrated OneDrive account on the UC San Diego Health tenant:
Login to OneDrive with your @health.ucsd.edu account, this will put you in the Health tenant:
(https://ucsdhs-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_health_ucsd_edu).
Check the url in the address bar of the browser. Make sure the URL begins with https://ucsdhs-my.sharepoint.com
If the URL is https://ucsdhs-my.sharepoint.com, make sure you are signed in as your @health.ucsd.edu account
If you are still having issues, close all browsers and reopen as a New InPrivate Window (Edge) or New Incognito Window (Chrome)then login with your @health.ucsd.edu account
As your files are being migrated in OneDrive from Campus, they will be placed in the same location in the OneDrive account you have on the Health tenant.
This identity is the authorized vendor account which is necessary to migrate your files, there is no reason to think this is a security concern.

The management of your files is up to your department. Keep in mind that the files you upload are associated with your AD account. So if you don't share them with other users before you leave, the files will be inaccessible.
If you delete a file stored in OneDrive, it will be in your OneDrive recycle bin for 30 days. After that, it is gone. Your departmental IT support nor ACT can recover it for you. There is no back-up.
