    How do I only dsiplay my local desktop and not OneDrive and eliminate the OneDrive entirely?


    How do I only display and save to the local desktop and not the OneDrive Desktop?I've been trying to move all my OneDrive system folder to local so I can complete remove OneDrive from my computer. When I copied my OneDrive contents to my local Desktop folder i.e., c:\users\<me>\Desktop everything duplicated. So apparently I'm seeing both Desktops. I've actually have many questions on this whole process but right now, I need to display the local desktop and remove the OneDrive entirely.Thanks!

    I've been trying to move all my OneDrive system folder to local so I can complete remove OneDrive from my computer. When I copied my OneDrive contents to my local Desktop folder (i.e., c:\users\<me>\Desktop) everything duplicated. So apparently I'm seeing both Desktops. I've actually have many questions on this whole process but right now, I need to display the local desktop and remove the OneDrive entirely.

    Thanks!

    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.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    [/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

    OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

    No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
