Windows 10: Error after deleting OneDrive

Hi!This is my first time using Windows 11. Just upgraded my computer and very happy with everything. Everything except some of the stuff Windows is doing.First of all, I opted out of OneDrive when I was setting up my pc. I've never used OneDrive outside of saving and sharing files at my job. It's not something I have ever, ever used on my personal PC. If I have 2 TB storage, I don't need OneDrive, and I don't want OneDrive.Despite this, OneDrive was saving all of my documents anyway, and then showing me errors whilst saving to my PC's document folder because I was out of my 5gb of OneDriv

OneDrive Personal Vault corrupt on Windows 11 Error Code: 0x8004100e

Hi Javier

I already did that. A couple of times. Most recently, as follow-on steps to your recommendation to delete my Personal Vault permanantly:

1. Followed your steps to permanently delete Personal Vault on OneDrive web
   
2. On my laptop:
   
   1. Disabled OneDrive backups
      
   2. Unlink this PC
      
   3. Uninstalled OneDrive application
      
   4. Deleted OneDrive folder
      
   5. Rebooted
      
   6. Reinstalled OneDrive
      
   7. Logged back in and retried Personal Vault - same error
      

 

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.

 

Photos deleted from gallery, deleted on Onedrive

Hi Lrs1436,



Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



It sounds like your photos deleted from gallery have also been deleted on Onedrive.

First I suggest you try to check maybe the Deleted Galary on your phone to see if it's possible to get deleted photos back. Then you may try to visit the OneDrive website to see if the photos you synced are there. If not, you may follow the steps listed on this link | Find lost or missing files in OneDrive (microsoft.com) to see if they could be found back.



Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
