Windows 10: Onedrive for Android and Two Accounts

Because I have a Samsung phone, I recently had to migrate data from Samsung Cloud to OneDrive. This generated a second OneDrive account using my alternate email address.

Now when I run Onedrive it goes to the Samsung account fine, but did not allow me to switch back to my primary Microsoft account. Both are personal accounts.

If I try to add the primary account in Onedrive I get an error...Sorry you are already signed in with a personal OneDrive account. Please enter your work or school account.

Not what I want to do! I tried uninstalling the app to start over... still logs into the Samsung account.

Luckily I can at least access the primary account on my Windows 10 laptop.


Any ideas?

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.

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
