    COMPLETELY eliminate OneDrive?


    I have had a new hard drive installed and have a complete backup to restore files from. When I installed windows, the FIRST thing I did was unlink the PC from OneDrive and stop it from running. However, I have now two times tried to restore my files from the backup, but none of them were going to the folders that are readily available, such as the actual desktop that one sees when logging onto the computer or the documents folders... which I have discovered are actually OneDrive folders!!!! I simply want OneDrive to leave me the heck alone and let me set all my folders up locally. How do I do

    :)

  2. 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.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond COMPLETELY eliminate OneDrive? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    COMPLETELY eliminate OneDrive?

    Lumia 950 showing complete contents of OneDrive

    Deleting the files from the OneDrive app will delete them from the OneDrive servers as well.

    The said app works differently form a PC wherein you can choose the folders that you want to sync. Using the said app for Windows Mobile will always display all the contents of your account.

    You can help Windows Mobile better by submitting a suggestion or feature request about the Windows and Apps.

    Follow the steps below to submit a feature request about the mentioned app:

    • Launch OneDrive.
    • Tap the Ellipsis [ . . . ] button on the lower right part of the screen.
    • Tap Give feedback.
    • Under the What would you like to send? drop down menu, select
      Suggest an idea.
    • Type in your suggestion in the Include a message text box.
    • Once you're done with the message, tap on the Check
      mark
      located at the bottom right of the screen.
    Thank you.
