Windows 10: How to Detach Files from Account

I just performed a factory reset on my windows 10 machine after choosing the option not to keep personal files. After I booted the thing up and signed in, things such as my wallpaper and most of my files were still there. I am assuming this is because the files on my computer are backed up to my onedrive/Microsoft account. Is there a way for me to detach the files so that if I do another reset I can then sign in and have no files?

Thanks in advance.
