    OneDrive has copied all its contents to system drive


    I have one onedrive setup so it is on a secondary harddisk on my computer D:/. I've noticed it has duplicated everything on it to my system drive C:/ as well.


    How do I stop this happening? The system harddisk is much smaller so I want all the space I can on it. Also why would anyone want two copies of the same files on the same computer?

    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.

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile OneDrive has copied all its contents to system drive :)

    Deleting the files from the OneDrive app will delete them from the OneDrive servers as well.

    The said app works differently form a PC wherein you can choose the folders that you want to sync. Using the said app for Windows Mobile will always display all the contents of your account.

    You can help Windows Mobile better by submitting a suggestion or feature request about the Windows and Apps.

    Follow the steps below to submit a feature request about the mentioned app:

    • Launch OneDrive.
    • Tap the Ellipsis [ . . . ] button on the lower right part of the screen.
    • Tap Give feedback.
    • Under the What would you like to send? drop down menu, select
      Suggest an idea.
    • Type in your suggestion in the Include a message text box.
    • Once you're done with the message, tap on the Check
      mark       located at the bottom right of the screen.
    Thank you.
