Windows 10: How do i stop onedrive from automatically syncing even when i didnt allow it permission

So I got my new Pc, well the same pc, but with a new operating system and everything, and one drive, just decided to start downloading back contents from the old instance of this system out of the blue, without even asking me, I didn't want those files to be on my system! It just decided to make itself at home like I invited it here, I'm so frustrated with this. I didn't want to see those old files. This is just terrible. There's a reason I backed them up, they were supposed to stay there until I decided I wanted them back!

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.
