Windows 10: OneDrive replacement

I have been locked out of my OneDrive account and cannot recover it. I purchased another Office365 Home account and now have a new OneDrive account. My previous OneDrive account was synched to a PC, Laptop, iPad and iPhone,

1. How do I get my old OneDrive files onto the new OneDrive account?
2. How do I set up the devices to synch to the new OneDrive account?
3. Do I need to remove all the old synced OneDrive files from my devices?

Thank you for any assistance with this. It is very frustrating.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

Setting up onedrive on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) My Documents folder will be there in both PC and in OneDrive folder.

2) As you said that you have made inaccessible, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if I helps.

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

Are you trying to open the music folder from OneDrive folder or from PC?

Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
