Windows 10: Can´t access my files because of OneDrive

Hi,


I´m having problems with the file explorer in my computer Windows 10: I can´t access many of my files and it gets stuck. I´m pretty sure this has to do with OneDrive. I´d really appreciate some help to solve this.


Here´s the full story. I recently g****ndows 10 computer into the new ****der on my new computer, same with the Pictures folder, and so on. The new computer aut****´ve never used before; didn´t pay much attention to it. Now, I receive alerts that my OneDrive account is full, and now I can´t access my files they just won´t open, and the file explorer gets stuck frequently. To prove that these problems were related to the OneDrive sync, I opened my old-computer folders not synchronized with OneDrive from an external hard drive in my new computer, and I was able to access the same files without any inconvenience.


How I can recover my normal access to my files and folders?


Thank you!

:)

 

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 - Bait and switch (but to what?)

Yea, they just stopped giving unlimited space to Office subscribers as well. I use google drive, dropbox and I do use onedrive, but nothing major in onedrive. I read something about Amazon has that's not bad and is fairly cheap. It's called "Amazon Glacier". It's $0.007 per gigabyte per month, but it's not like google drive or onedrive. You upload your files and hours later you can get access to it. So, for backups it's not a bad solution, but if you need access to the files regularly then it wouldn't be.
