Windows 10: How to remove onedrive for business but keep onedrive personal

I had both personal and business onedrive accounts on my computer. I no longer need the business account so I unlinked the pc and signed out. I can't get rid of the location in file explorer and I get a constant nag to log in to business onedrive. I no longer have access to the business account.

I have tried everything I could find online but it normally "fixes" the personal too so I have to reverse it. As you can see in the attached image the account in yellow is the one I wish to remove. It doesn't even sync anything at the moment.

Hello NeilMacCuish,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support. I understand you have some questions about the accounts on your phone, specifically Onedrive and Office 365. In order to get a better idea of what's going on, I'd like to go over a few things:

• Have you been using a Microsoft Account on the phone for some time for personal use, which you now want to change to just business-only, specifically for Office 365? From your description, it sounds like you want to change the primary alias used on your
  Windows Phone.
• If changing the Microsoft Account on your phone is what you had intended, please note that if you do follow through with this, your purchase history for apps and games for Windows Phone will be lost, as the licenses are tied directly to the Microsoft Account
  itself.
• Do your Office 365 documents not show up when you add your business-only account to the phone?
• When opening up the Office App on the phone, it will always default to showing the Office-compatible documents from the primary Microsoft Account of the phone. The only way to change the primary account on the phone would be a factory reset. You'll want
  to back up any content before doing this.

Feel free to get back to us when you can and we'll go from there.

Regards,

PS I've also managed to foul my personal account in some form such that I've had to create a second display name in the community so I could post, hence the VG tag

 

If you installed OneDrive for Business from your O365 for Business portal, you will see two OneDrive entries in Start menu. In this case you might get lucky simply by uninstalling the OneDrive for Business:



Notice that this only applies if you have installed it from O365 portal as part of Office 2016 desktop suite. If you did not separately install Office suite but instead just added a workplace OneDrive account to existing OneDrive, your Start menu only has one entry for OneDrive; in that case do not uninstall it as it would also uninstall the personal OneDrive.

 

Unfortunately I can't uninstall by right clicking.

 

Did anyone find a solution to this? I have the same issue. I dont know what O365 portal is. I installed office personal, then did some magic to get onedrive to also sync a separate business account (it was not easy). NowI want to remove the buseinss onedrive, and if I do anything to disable any onedrive, it always disables both.
