    Can't Reinstall OneDrive App


    Good afternoon,

    Hope you're well.

    I recently experienced some issues with synchronisation on the OneDrive application.
    I attempted to reinstall this and was met with the error message "OneDrive is already installed, please uninstall this before continuing".

    I tried to remove this using the add or remove programs entry, however it would not remove from this list.
    I also attempted to manually remove the installation from the hard drive, registry and using powershell script. I have tried advice given in various other threads on this forum but none of these have been successful.

    This message continues to be displayed if I use the installer from the SysWow64 folder or a downloaded installer from the internet.

    Please can someone advise me on how to proceed?

    Many thanks for your time.

    Best wishes,
    Matthew

    :)

    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.

    REINSTALL ONEDRIVE

    Try these steps out and let me know how it goes:

    • Right-click Start button, choose Run
    • Type appwiz.cpl and click OK
    • Find "Microsoft OneDrive" in the list and uninstall it
    • Restart your computer
    • Go to the
      OneDrive Download Page here       and click the "need to reinstall?" link on the page to get the new installer
    • Let me know if the installer has any trouble this time
