Windows 10: Files from onedrive still there and can't delete them.

Hello


I recenlmy deleted onedrive because i wasn't really a fan of it. Everything i stored in whichever folder I selected also stored in the ondedrive folder. I deleted onedrive an the folder is still there but whenever i install or download anything, even though onedrive is deleted, it still stores it in the onedrive folder too. Whenever i delete anything from the onedrive folder, it's deleted from the folder i originaly put it in too. I wanted to delete the files an everything on my pc was gone and had too get everything out of my bin.


Is there any way I could delete the files out of the folder without delete the files completely and how do i stop ot from putting everything in the onedrive folder too?

:)

 

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.
