    OneDrive DELETING FILES ON ITS OWN, this is extremely scary...


    This is the 3rd time, Recycle Bin caught me twice before, but now its just file roulette??? It deleted and was not in recycle bin to recover...about 20 .psd files. This is so so so scary, what is happening?? Deleted from my sync drive and cloud itself.

    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.
