  1. Lost onedrive


    I lost my house and all of my computer data including onedrive data in a recent fire.


    I bought a new computer and logged into my Microsoft one drive account and it is empty. I assume that is a new computer onedrive and not the old computer onedrive which did have data on it.


    My question is how do I get to that old onedrive online and recover data from it?

    :)

  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.

    Lost onedrive

    OneDrive folder connection lost after 1903 upgrade

    Hi Saurabh,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To be on the safer, you may try copying the files from the old OneDrive folder to the newly created one rather than using the cut/paste feature and see if it stops downloading (sync) the content from your OneDrive account to the local PC.



    We do have a dedicated support for OneDrive related issues, I suggest to get in touch with OneDrive Support team, where we have the support professionals well equipped with the knowledge on this subject. Please follow the steps given below.



    • Sign in to OneDrive.com from any browser.
    • Click the ‘?’ help icon on the top banner of the page and select
      Email OneDrive support.
    • Submit your question and follow the prompts to request support.
