Windows 10: How to stop OneDrive

Hello,I recently bought a new desktop computer running Windows 11 22H2. Today I uninstalled OneDrive. Then I restarted my computer. And I see that some files have the little cloud icon next to them, which I think means they are in a OneDrive folder. I have Word and Excel which still default to saving to a OneDrive site, even after the uninstall. And I see that files are still in "onedrive.live.com" and "d.docs.live.net" and new files are nowhere to be found on my computer.is there a way to delete these two sites or folders on the web?How can I change the default save location and get Wi

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.
