Windows 10: Can Microsoft please stop automatically setting up & downloading OneDrive files for new setups?

I'd really like to install a second data drive and get it set up for onedrive the way I prefer, without having to clean up the **** mess that Microsoft automatically makes of my C drive every single time.

:)

 

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.

 

Microsoft office files doesn't open in OneDrive and won't sync in Windows 10.

Hi CauZion,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to Delete cached files from Upload Center.

• Go to start menu and open Upload Center for Office.
• Go to Settings.
• Click on 'Delete Cached Files for Office.'
• Click OK and check if the status.

I suggest you Change the OneDrive Location in Windows 10 and check if it works.

To change the OneDrive folder location in Windows 10, you have unlink OneDrive from your account and then repeat the setup process:

• Right-click on the OneDrive
  icon in the notification area and then select Settings
• Select "Settings" and then select "Unlink OneDrive"
• Follow the setup process again and ensure to select the new drive or location to have OneDrive sync to; you must wait for your files to download again to the new location

Please note: if you've connected your Windows 10 user account with your Microsoft account, OneDrive won't let you unlink the application. You'll have to unlink your
Microsoft account from your Windows account first.

Hope it helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
