Windows 10: My school's OneDrive is connected to my personal PC at home and is taking up a lot of space.

Hi. My PC has been getting notifications that my OneDrive is almost full and that I will not get emails and don't have enough space. Reason for this is my school's OneDrive is connected somehow to my personal PC with all its files taking up so much space. Is there any way I can unsync it and only have it on my school laptop?

Onedrive asking to sign in to a school account

Hello, A few years ago, I lost access to my school email and had to create a new personal email for windows. My files sync fine with the new email, but once a day, I get a prompt asking me to sign into sharepoint and when I click the button to sign in, the only option I have is for the school account which I don't have access to. I deleted everything that started with Microsoft Office from credential manager that didn't have my personal email in the username field, ran the command C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset to reset onedrive, and uninstalled/reinstalled onedrive to no avail. Does anyone know what I missed here or why my school account is still connected? EDIT: I saw a SSO_POP_User credential that I missed in credential manager. Maybe that will fix it. I just unlinked and link my account and wasn't prompted to sign in; however, when the select an account prompt comes up, the school email appears in the list of options.

 

School Login locking down Personal PC

I'm not sure where you live or how the school system works these days.....the school supplies the laptops to the kids. They lock those things down so tight that the student can only use it to do the school work with school approved software. Further more the schools block just about every website other than what the school approves. When they bring them home to use on your home network......more settings are blocked. So there are really useless for the kids to do anything other than school work.

It's not a question of securing ones personal device even if you have the know how. It just takes one students simple mistake of using the wrong user name/password to have the school lock your own personal device from accessing that schools network which is what the OP issue is all about. That's why the tell you not to use your own personal device.
