Windows 10: How can I get OneDrive to stop overwriting Carbonite's backup dot?

I have been a Carbonite backup subscriber for many years. When it completes a backup of a file, it puts a little green dot on the file icon. When it is working on a file, the dot is yellow.This is very helpful, but since OneDrive can lumbering onto the scene, those dots have disappeared. I read that OneDrive is the problem.Is there any way that I can get OneDrive to stop this unfriendly behavior?If not, is there a way I can cancel OneDrive and get the d*mn thing off my computer?If I posted this in the wrong section, please move it. I couldn't find OneDrive in the confusing, disorganized list o

OneDrive conflicting with Carbonite

I've used Carbonite for years with no problem, but since moving to Windows 10 was having real problems with Carbonite getting stuck part way, etc.. Have been told that this is because it conflicts with OneDrive. I wasn't even aware that I was using OneDrive,
and don't particularly want to do so, as I have no need for document-sharing and so forth.

However, it looks as if OneDrive has been 'kidnapping' all sorts of files and folders and, when I try to copy the item and move it back to a desktop folder, the system just keeps saying 'Copying from OneDrive to OneDrive' How do I stop this happening, and
how can I save things where I know they can be properly backed-up?

HELP!

 

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.

 

SettingSyncHost.exe errors causing problems with Carbonite?

I have had 650+ ESENT errors in the last 30 days, which is now negatively impacting my Carbonite backup (ie. per Carbonite support these errors are preventing the backup from completing). These are both performance and general errors (per EventViewer).

There was an update to the SettingSyncHost executable on 9/29/17. I have researched if this is associated with OneDrive, however I'm unable to uninstall OneDrive. I have deleted all sub-folders for that file so there is nothing for OneDrive to do, if indeed
it is using SettingSyncHost.exe. (I have submitted a ticket with OneDrive support to see if they can help uninstalling OneDrive.)

More specifics:

During the (prior to the 9/29/17 release) 30 days (08/01/17 - 09/01/17) there were 230 errors. Not making any assumptions here, but the number of errors has reached a critical point preventing Carbonite from working (per Carbonite support). And to be accurate,
Carbonite support did not go beyond suggesting that this could be either a software or hardware issue, however all other applications are working fine and no other hardware issues are popping up.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
