    I've reset my PC without removing personal files, and it refuses to heal. Is there a way to disconnect my system from OneDrive so that a reset of my PC does not remove files from OneDrive. Alternatively, is there a way to back up my OneDrive to removable media? The backup utility only supports backup to the cloud.Fred.

    :)

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Will the Reset this PC remove personal files like pictures?

    Hi Julian,

    I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I'll do my best to help you. I can see here that you would like to know if resetting the PC will remove your Pictures.

    Regarding the reset process, you will be provided 2 options which are Reset PC Keep Files and Reset PC remove everything.

    Keep Files - will keep your own files that is stored in your user profile folders like Documents, Pictures, Videos etc... but please take note that it will delete the non-preinstalled apps on your device. And it will reinstall Windows on your device.

    Remove everything - it will delete all of your personal files and will just reinstalled the preinstalled apps, this will reinstall the entire Windows on your device.

    Thank you,

    Christine L
