    How do I undo OneDrive


    I accidentally accepted a pop up to use OneDrive, which is causing problems with-Massively slowing down the computer as it uploads-Moving, not copying moving, my files so I can no longer find themI would like to completely undo this. The problem is that because it has moved my files I need to download them all again before deleting it, and whenever I run it to try and do this it starts uploading again. What I want to do is stop this annoying program taking anything more off my hard drive, get back what it has taken so far and then uninstall, delete and exorcise it.Is there any way to run it ju

    :)

    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.
