Windows 10: Onedrive Illegal files transfert

Hello,I moved few monthes ago on Windows 11 fresh installation.I never opt in on Onedrive client side. Never. I have no use of this tool.Since the last OS update, Onedrive software certainly has picked up my Xbox Game Pass credentials and uploaded my PRIVATE FILES on this cloud file system WITHOUT ANY CONSENT.I figured this thanks to the popup who told me that I have no space left on Onedrive.Now, please explain me why shouldn't I sue Microsoft for stealing private content.Please try.That's a really, really bad move.Regards.

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.

Utilities that I run can no longer automatically save files to my OneDrive

Hi Alan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To set OneDrive as your default location to save your documents and files, follow the below steps.

1. Click on the OneDrive icon from the Taskbar area > Click on the menu button (three-dots) on the top-right corner > Click on
   Settings > Go to the Auto Save tab.
2. Using the drop-down menu, select OneDrive for
   Desktop, Documents, and Pictures and click on
