  1. OneDrive has messed up my laptop - desperate


    I tried using OneDrive and I can't get rid of it. It is messing up my computer to the point where I can't install or play games and since I am stuck in a hospital bed for the foreesable future, that might be what actually kills me and not my failing health.


    Whenever I try and even unlink the folders, it comes up with the error 'can't stop syching folder', despite it being left to do so for days, deactivated, forced closed, and following every guide I can find to get rid of it.


    I can't do a full system wipe and reboot from the hospital bed and with the wifi here its both terrible and extremely expensive, so I don't know what to do. Can canyone help please?

  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.

  3. My Windows 10 desktop File Explorer must be broken or OneDrive is messing it up?

    Allan, let's just get me out of OneDrive completely. I'm tired of messing with it & I have no real need for it nor do I trust that what I have on it will always be the most current version or that it will be accessible or be editable if I'm out somewhere
    due to internet connection issues, permissions or Settings. So, can you just give me the steps to turn off OneDrive completely so it won't ever mess with me again?

    I'll just take it off my list forever.
