    How do I remove Synced Folders from One Drive


    I am looking to remove synced folders from one drive. I don't understand why there isn't just an 'unsync' option where the folder and all content inside of it is removed locally. This is a very frustrating aspect of One Drive. What I am looking to do:I sync folders with other people to coordinate projects and work. When that is finished, I stop syncing that folder. However, the folder continues to show up locally under One Drive despite being empty. I need to remove all of these folders from One Drive as I have an enormous number of folders viewable in my local one drive with only 2 or 3

    :)
