    How do I STOP OneDrive from putting already synced/backed-up files back to my phone?


    I understand that I can select photos/videos/files that I want uploaded/backed up to OneDrive. However, when I delete files on my Android phone to free up space, OneDrive puts them all back. Happens all the time, and it is driving me crazy. How do I stop OneDrive from doing this? I just want the already-backed up files to stay there, and just add the new ones from my phone to OneDrive.

    :)
