Windows 10: Got error 0x8007016A when copying an .mp4 file. I have removed OneDrive from my computer.

I used copy to copy a whole folder tree. I got the error message with one particular .mp4 file. I selected "Do this for all current items" and then clicked on Skip.The file was given to me by a friend. I have copied it before on this computer without getting the error message, though that may have been a programmatic copy.I have removed OneDrive from my computer. I'm using Windows 11.I was not offered the option I want: disassociate this file from the cloud.How do I copy the file without getting this error message?

:)

 

How to copy files that are no longer attached to OneDrive and error 0x8007016A?

I have several files that refuse to copy off my c drive to an external due to error code "Error 0x8007016A: The cloud file provider is not running". These files were once stored in OneDrive, but I have not used OneDrive in over a year and the files were deleted from that OneDrive. So all the suggestions concerning OneDrive sync and resetting OneDrive do not do anything. Also my system is fully up to date.

These files all open fine locally. How do I copy them and avoid this error?

Thanks very much
