    OneDrive account does not get unlocked after freeing up memory


    I tried to store too many data in my OneDrive. In consequence my OneDrive account got locked. Yesterday I logged in with the Web browser and freed up a lot of data. The Web interface shows me that I use now 2.2 of 5 GB. But the account is still locked and I can not start the OneDrive software on my Windows PC: it allways shows me error code 0x8004def7. How can I reactivate my OneDrive without buying more storage?[moved from de-de]

    :)

    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.

    Hello John,

    If you want to sync the photos on the phone to your OneDrive, you can only use the personal account signed in to the app. The personal account will serve as a back up and for personal use of your photos. The app will only allow you to sign in and switch
    multiple OneDrive for Business accounts and one personal account. If you want to send some suggestions and feedback regarding this, you can use our Feedback Hub and follow the steps below:

    1. Go to All Apps, search for the Feedback Hub app.
    2. Open the Menu icon at the top left side.
    3. Select Feedback, then tap the Add button (+) at the top right side.
    4. Select Suggestion and provide the details needed.
    5. Select the right category and then Submit.

    You can visit this link for more information about using OneDrive for Business
    on your Windows phone.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
