    OneDrive and paths


    How come that Microsoft allows Windows to CHANGE the path given to point to anything with OneDrive, even when I have clearly added another path to my files?! How can this even be legal? I.e. I chose C:\Users\NAME\Desktop for all my downloads, but the Windows kept wanting me to activate OneDrive with every update, so I did, and suddenly the path for downloads was C:\Users\NAME\onedrive\desktop or something to that effect. Regardless, all my downloads were suddenly not visible on my desktop, but i could find them when opening OneDrive and then moving the files manually to another folder. Sigh.

    :)

    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.

    Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.
