  2. 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.

    What is the Container folder and why is it missing?

    They have 5 steps listed? Can you not get the files they mention in step 5? I can't tell if Containers is the name of a Windows file or just an internal reference or what.

    Onedrive Desktop show that backing-up while contains nothing

    Command Prompt is not showing all my files on desktop and other directories

    The updates on the question say that moving the desktop back will solve this. Steps to do so are:

    1. Open file explorer
    2. Right click on the Desktop folder and select properties
    3. Click on location from the top tabs
    4. Change the location back to the original location. For me this meant removing OneDrive from the path
