  1. How to get rid of OneDrive showing in Windows Explorer?


    HiI've been using my work's Business account 365 for ages and have the school/work OneDrive in my Windows Explorer, but somehow the Personal one has appeared and I want to get rid of it as I don't use it because I already have my own personal one from my own account. So I googled and it says to go to Users etc and delete it there. I did that but it is still appearing in Windows Explorer. When you click it it says "C:\Users...\...\OneDrive... is unavailable. etc etc etc.....it might have been moved or deleted"Well duh! but it doesn't let you get rid of the stupid thing in explorer.Thanks for a

    :)

  2. 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.

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

    [/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

    OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

    No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
