  1. How to I stop using OneDrive?


    Im recently new to windows so I don’t know much. All my desktop icons and files are synced with onedrive. So if i try to stop using onedrive or delete them from onedrive, they just delete from the desktop. I keep getting notifications that my onedrive is almost full. Can I just stop using one drive? And move everything inside it to my hard drive?

  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.

    Hi,

    We apologize for the delay response and thank you for the additional details.

    Upon analyzing this matter, it seems that
    OneDrive is having issues in syncing your
    Microsoft Account that causes the issue to occur. We suggest you to try these following methods and check if there's any changes:

    Method 1: add/remove your account in OneDrive.

    To do unlink your account, follow these steps:


    • Right-click on the
      cloud icon
      on the lower right of your screen.

    • Choose
      Settings.

    • On the
      Account tab, click on
      Unlink this PC.

    • Choose
      Unlink Account.

    To add your account, just run OneDrive again the enter your credentials.

    Method 2: reset OneDrive.

    To reset OneDrive, follow these steps:


    • Press
      Windows key + R.

    • Type
      %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

    • Click
      OK.

    • Make sure that the
      cloud iconor the
      OneDrive icon
      on the bottom right
      disappears.

    • If the icon doesn't
      re-appear after a few minutes, press
      Windows key + R
      and type
      %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
