Windows 10: OneDrive has been uninstalled... And keeps coming back!

I have NO USE for OneDrive, Will not use it, and uninstall it every time.

I have had to reinstall Windows 10 Pro 1903 from a Insider Slow Ring build that developed GSOD "Kernel Security Check Failure" that even Microsoft could not correct. Of course OneDrive installed with the new install, and I jumped right into the Control Panel and Uninstalled it.


But... THIS TIME it keeps coming back!! I have blocked it from running (Ccleaner), but Windows keeps restoring the OneDrive folders and reinstalling the program.

I DO NOT want cloud storage, and I CERTAINLY do not want everything I save duplicated on my hard drive taking up massive amounts of space.

I cannot even remove the install file from the WinSxS folder AFTER taking ownership of it... (Or appearing to take ownership!)

I have even gone through my Program Files (both), Program Data, AppData folders and removed all OneDrive folders, and gone through the registry and removed anything that refers to OneDrive as a final measure. It's like that dang Cat that Keeps Coming Back!


What have I missed?


Thanks for any ideas. I'm outta those. ;-)

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.

As OneDrive is built in to some versions of Windows and can't be uninstalled. As a workaround, you can hide it. Reference “Turn off or uninstall OneDrive” for detail steps:

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
