  1. Disconnect Or Delete OneDrive?


    I have a lot of system/file reconfiguration to do. I've concluded the best thing for me is to remove the entire contents of OneDrive and start over with my new configuration.


    Here's my question:


    If I uninstall OneDrive can I still delete everything in it and start anew when my local C: Drive is reconfigured? Or is there another way to do this without uninstalling OneDrive?


    I have Office 365 installed on my single user desktop PC. My Windows 10 Pro version is ...


    Current Version: Windows 10 Pro

    Operating System ...

    Edition: Windows 10 Pro

    Version: 20H2

    Installed on: 11-Feb-2021

    OS build: 19042.844

    Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    :)

  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.

    Don't know if this will solve your problem, but suggest you uninstall OneDrive, then delete the OneDrive folder in C:\Users\User-name\AppData\Local\Microsoft, and then reinstall OneDrive.
