OneDrive remove excluded items

Last week when I posted here, along the way In my attempt trying to figure out how to control an unexpected flood of local downloads, I add some items to the "exclude" list Unexpected OneDrive behavior, backup warnings I see no way to remove items from that list. A search revealed nothing. There's supposed to be a Settings > File Filter option, but I don't see anything like that.

 

Exclude from OneDrive sync?

Quick question: Is there a way to exclude specific files from syncing with OneDrive?

I don't need to sync auto-generated files beginning with "~" (tilde) or ending in ".bak".

 

Exclude OneDrive from backup

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community.

We understand your concern and we will try to provide the assistance that is required to resolve the issue.

I would like to inform that in Windows 10 Sky Drive has converted into One Drive. As per your query, I am led to believe that you wish to remove/exclude OneDrive from the list of backup files. If that is the case follow the steps that are mentioned below
and check if it helps.

Exclude files from Backup.

1. Open Control Panel by right-clicking on the Start Menu and choosing
Control Panel. Click or tap System and Security,
and then tap or click File History.

2. To exclude some folders in your libraries so they do not get backed up, on the left, choose
Exclude Folders.

3. Choose the file, folder or location that you wish to exclude and click on
Add.

4. Once you have added the desired file, click the back arrow to get back to the
File History window.

Hope this information helps.
