  2. OneDrive & Erasing All Data

    Hello JaydenFenderson

    I am a Windows Advisor here to help.

    If you choose to erase everything on the computer it will also erase everything in the OneDrive folder on the computer. However, if you want to make sure that your data is erased from OneDrive I would recommend that you log into the website at
    Your request has been blocked. This could be due to several reasons. in a web browser and if your files remain in the cloud delete them from the website.

  3. OneDrive & Erasing All Data

    I'm planning on erasing all data here sometime soon, all my important files are stored in the OneDrive folder. If I'm am to purposely erase everything, will that include the erasing OneDrive data on Windows 10? I just don't want to make an accidental mistake
    and not have stuff removed.

    OneDrive & Erasing All Data

    Sorry, I said that wrong in the post. I want to keep all of my data stored in the OneDrive but still need to erase the computer. Is there any way I can save the data on OneDrive and delete all the data outside of the OneDrive folder? I don't want anything
    in OneDrive to be deleted.
