  1. How do I undo every effect onedrive has done to damage my brain and computer


    Syncing my PC to OneDrive has completely messed up my computer and my mental sanity. All I want is for my files to be on my actual computer, my local disk, my ssd whatever you want to call it. Whenever I go into the Files application however, nothing is there because it is stored in some conceptual storage unit somewhere in the universe that is not my compuiter. I have tried to Unsync my computer, but the files do not reappear where I want them to, eg. Desktop, Documents. I also cannot do the copy and paste method, because the amount of GB I am copying and trying to paste is greater than the a

  2. 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.

    OneDrive Get back Files onto Computer

    I previously answered your question on that citing the illustrated tutorials. OOPS Clicked OneDrive Backup and Don't Want it. I am very sorry those are unsuitable for you. As Idgat says you need to tread carefully. Remember that even when you have finally uninstalled Onedrive- that's the last step of several- you will still have access to files in your online Onedrive account (access via your browser). I suggest the following: a. disable synching. Check data b. disable Onedrive integration. Check data c. When sure, completely uninstall Onedrive Check data There are, as you know, tutorials for each of those. You don't want to read those. I will assume either that you know how to do each of those steps, or that you can find out in a manner that suits you. Could I suggest you ask a friend who is more familiar with technical matters to help you?

    I suggest you shouldn't expect people to repeat the instructions in the tutorials for you in detail. They are there so they are accurate and people don't have to spend time doing that. Good luck!
