Windows 10: Onedrive Files Not On Drive

I Added several folders to Onedrive and they have disappeared from my local drive. These include Documents, Music, Pictures, several application folders in Program Files and others. The missing files are stopping my pc from starting as they include appdata. How do I restore these files to my computer so it will start properly? Currently it runs for about 30 seconds then restarts. And, how do I copy files to onedrive in the future without them disappearing from my local drive?

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 - Bait and switch (but to what?)

Yea, they just stopped giving unlimited space to Office subscribers as well. I use google drive, dropbox and I do use onedrive, but nothing major in onedrive. I read something about Amazon has that's not bad and is fairly cheap. It's called "Amazon Glacier". It's $0.007 per gigabyte per month, but it's not like google drive or onedrive. You upload your files and hours later you can get access to it. So, for backups it's not a bad solution, but if you need access to the files regularly then it wouldn't be.
