    Can OneDrive be Completely Removed from Win11 Laptop?


    I have had it with OneDrive. It's intrusive and even though I try to manage storage it's constantly telling me I am low or running out of storage. I want to move my OneDrive files to an external SSD and then hopefully just kick the whole damn thing to the curb!Is it possible to remove all traces of OneDrive from my laptop after I move the files to an external drive but not have it mess up my Win 11 OS?

    :)

    Completely Remove OneDrive From My Laptop

    Is there any way at all to completely remove OneDrive from my brand new Windows 10 laptop?? I have no use for it. Dislike it thoroughly, really. Just want it gone.

    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.
