Windows 10: How to move my stuff off of OneDrive then kill off OneDrive permanently

I never wanted OneDrive, but when I bought a new laptop, it somehow was enabled, and now I'm having tons of error messages telling me OneDrive is full and I should buy more storage. I attempted to move MY files off of OneDrive, but now File Explorer shows all my files with Red X's. My C drive is now a complete mess! This is Incredibly frustrating for something I never wanted. I would appreciate simple, plain language instructions on how to get my files off this OneDrive, get rid of the red X's on my C drive, then permanently turn off OneDrive. I do not need or want to use OneDrive.Thank you

:)

W10Privacy utility. Option to permanently stop OneDrive from starting up.

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.

[/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.
