Windows 10: How to abort in progress OneDrive Backup process

I am starting to setup Backup and Sync on OneDrive. In OneDrive Settings I selected: Sync and Backup > Manage Backup. In the Back up folders on this PC window I selected Pictures. The service immediately moved the folder and all sub-folders in C:\Users\Me\Pictures to C:\Users\Me\OneDrive\Pictures. I take it this is normal behavior but not what I expected. The OneDrive process then began backing up the files. I believe this is indicated by the chasing blue arrows icon. When a file is backed up, the icon changes to an arrow in a green dot. The process is proceeding but and a glacial pace. som

W10 Mobile Lumia 830 Backup Not Being Saved to OneDrive

Thanks Chari San,

I understand I can not see what is contained in the backup stored on OneDrive, but I should see them listed. In my case there is not one being stored at all even though the phone reports it has backed up. See screenshots from OneDrive from my phone logged
into the same account the phone is and the backup settings page above. Without the backup on OneDrive my restored phone will lose at least call history, start screen setup and installed app list from what I have found.

Step #2 is not displayed on the new phone. (How can it restore a backup that is not on OneDrive at all). It skips over that step and I get a default install on the new phone without my call history, start page or app history. I'm not sure what else I
might be missing but for sure at least those 3 items do not come across.

How do I resolve this issue? Suggestions?

 

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.
