    OneDrive icons


    I have just moved 192GB of photos from a separate partition to my OneDrive and OneDrive is up to date
    I can see the files via onedrive.live.com ok and the files show the glimmer marks icon
    I can see the files via OneDrive on my PC and the files show the green tick icon
    However, the OneDrive folders on my PC still show the sync icon
    The OneDrive system tray icon appears correct and if I hover over it it says 'OneDrive Up to date', see screenshot

    I have reset OneDrive but no change
    Should I be worried?
    What is happening?
    I want to reuse the partition that previously stored the photos so wanted to be certain all is OK before I proceed (I have backed up the part with Macrium just in case)
    Oddly two folders do show the green tick icon but one folder is empty, see screenshot

  2. OneDrive folder icon changed to plain

    Hi,

    Thank you for replying.

    I understand your concern and suggest you to Unlink OneDrive and run OneDrive setup
    again and check. Here is the steps:


    • Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

      (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
      OneDrive icon.)

    • Click Settings, and then click Unlink.

    • Follow the steps in the Welcome to OneDrive wizard to set up OneDrive.
    Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.

    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.
