Windows 10: How do I completely get rid of OneDrive without losing my files

Any time I get out of range of thew internet with my laptop I lose all access to my files. How can I completely get rid of OneDrive on both my laptop and my PC. I am running Windows 10 on both of these.

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.

 

Removing all traces of OneDrive without losing any files

Hello,

I work in locations where I can't access the internet often, so using OneDrive is practically impossible for me, so I am regularly unable to access files which automatically path themselves through OneDrive.

How do I completely remove OneDrive from my computer (including the OneDrive folder and any file paths) without losing any files? I've tried stopping file syncing, signing out, uninstalling OneDrive (which won't work for some reason?).

I even tried moving the files from the OneDrive/Documents folder manually but either the files delete entirely or they say 'destination and source locations are the same'.

I'm losing my mind going in circles trying to get rid of this problem, if anyone has a solution I'd greatly appreciate the help.

 

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!
