  1. onedrive free up space reverts to download


    I want to keep my photos on OneDrive in the cloud. After freeing up space, OneDrive then downloads my files again, filling up my small SSD hard drive. I have check the option for files on demand. Also, reset OneDrive. This only happens on one of my two HP laptops, both running latest version Windows 10.

    :)

  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.
