  1. Deleted onedrive content now I have no desktop?


    Was alarmed to find this evening that even though onedrive was uninstalled from my PC the second I ran windows for the first time, ther eis actually gigabites of data in a one drive folder in my home folder.


    Naturally I deleted them, thats why I uninstalled onedrive.


    Now in the quick access I cannot select home or documents, because it moans those locations are in onedrive,


    What sort of nonsense is that? I never asked for that and certainly never wanted onedrive storing **** from my desktop in the cloud.


    How do I fix the quick access to go to my actual desktop, not onedrives faux desktop?

    :)

    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.

  3. 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.
