Windows 10: Can't clear space in Onedrive

I keep deleting large files, and emptying the bin so that I clear over 90% of the storage space by wiping all photos, but a week or so later, I'll always get a notification that the storage is full and that my access will be removed by a certain date? How do I delete these files permanently? How to ai stop my photos from syncing? 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.

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

Step 3. Under "Files On-Demand," check the Save space and download files as you use themto enable the feature.
