    Onedrive emptied after left unused for a while


    Hi, I have not been using my onedrive for a while (maybe over a year or two) but I decided to log on to retrieve some old files. However, I only logged on to find that all folders and files were deleted. I did not receive any warning email regarding the delete in advance and I am quite disappointed to find that my drive is emptied.. Is there a way that I can recover the content of my drive? Many thanks for any advice!

    :)

  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.

    OneDrive unable to find my contacts to share folders


    garybo125 thanks for your suggestion which I did but it did not resolve the issue with OneDrive insisting to use my contact's first email address instead of his second email address. Eventually I deleted my contact's first email address from my Outlook.com contacts list and OneDrive then added the correct address. It seems that if you have a contact with two email addresses OneDrive will always choose one and not the other!

    Berton OneDrive may not use the built-in Contacts Folder in C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE as mine is empty but of course I cannot verify this.
