Windows 10: How do I get rid of One Drive completely ?

Hi. I got so fed up with OneDrive, that I have uninstalled it and deleted the One Drive folder on the C: Drive. I don't want it and don't need it. However, when I save a for example PowerPoint file it defaults to OneDrive - Personal. How do I stop this ? I just want the 'save' to default to my data drive. I have set the default locations in the 365 apps but this still happens. In Powerpoint, under Account it says I have a connected Service - OneDrive - Personal - Can anyone help me just get rid of OneDrive completely and permanently? ThanksStu

:)

 

How to get rid of One Drive completely


I would like to get rid of One Drive completely.
By logging in locally and not with a Microsoft account, One Drive is not activated.
In previous Windows versions you could uninstall One Drive in Programs and Features, but it no longer appears?

One Drive is based in the USA and therefore not safe at all
The NSA will have full access to anything and everything stored.

I would like to completely uninstall One Drive
Any suggestions are welcome

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Can't get rid of a drive

I have a drive that I can't get rid of. It is not listed in the Disk Management app, but it is still listed in the "This PC".

How do I get rid of it? It was a drive at one point in time.
