    afraid to delete from Onedrive as it deletes from This PC/Desktop. How do I separate?


    Hi all. Apologies but I'm new to Windows 10. I installed software to copy mini DVs to my laptop assuming it would be installed on my PC. It looks as if it's on both OneDrive and This PC/Desktop which I didn't want. I want to clear Onedrive so I can use it for important docs/photos only. However, I deleted a photo from Onedrive as a test and it deleted it from my This PC/Desktop too. So I'm worried that cleaning out Onedrive will delete everything I've stored / downloaded on this laptop so far. This is making me really nervous so can anyone please advise what's happening and if I can clear out Onedrive without removing everything? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Explanations for deleted posts?

    Like I said, it makes no sense in letting users see deleted posts, even if they are their own. That's why they were deleted in the first place. If they get to see who specifically deleted it, it only serves one purpose. Lets them bitch.

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Had a Question..it was deleted --.--

    our policy is to delete only spam/inappropriate posts.

    the only person who can "hard delete" posts on the forums is me .. everybody else can just soft-delete the posts, the original author will see those posts in the threads list with a comment why it was deleted.

    to the poster it will look like this, without "manage"
