    onedrive is flooding my new computer!


    New computer, I had the f** idea of putting my live account on it.

    It started immediately to download all my Terabyte of onedrive and soon emptied my HD (256GB SSD)

    Now I cannot change settings and exclude folders (why did they start "all sync" instead of asking me?) because

    "some of the elements... are not yet into onedrive.. wait till the end of uploading (?????!!!) and try again"

    - If I delete folders from HD they will be removed also from Onedrive (clever, uh?)

    - If I wait my disk is full and pc practically locked

    - what else can I do? Maybe switch to linux?

    :)

    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.

    Hello Francis, onedrive is flooding my new computer! :)

    Doing the steps below to install the latest version of OneDrive may be able to help.

    1. Download and install the latest version of OneDrive that's rolling out with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
    2. Restart your computer.
    3. After your computer restarts, select the Start button, search for “OneDrive”, and then select the OneDrive desktop app.
    4. When OneDrive Setup starts, enter your personal account, or your work or school account, and then select Sign in.
