Windows 10: OneDrive - Issues Removing

Hi all.

So earlier I posted a topic on a req for help because I have been trying to remove one drive folder. Long story short I ended up deleting all of my files and losing lots of sentimental pictures. I looked up several ways on how to remove this nothing worked (regedit etc.), so I came across a bat file that would remove the keys/folders & files making them gone for good now I ran this bat code it did remove everything now on top of losing everything I still have to deal with my desktop etc. all being in one drive folder now I'm sick to my back teeth of this I want it entirely removed how can I do this any one know ? After I ran the bat, it did delete them however the one drive seems to re-create the folder on my laptop automatically I have uninstalled it. I have tried forcefully removing it nothing is working, and I'm getting seriously annoyed with it now can anyone help, please?

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.

 

OneDrive Sync Issue

Honestly, I don't understand why you haven't already tried to boot with WinPE or other live disk and manually remove the file? This example using Macrium WinPE boot disk, download Macrium Free and let it create a boot disk for you. Option to create one is shown automatically when you launch Macrium first time:

1. Switch to C: drive
   
2. Change the working folder to your OneDrive folder
   
3. Check that the file has no Read Only (r) and System (s) attributes set. As the file name in your case is quite long, you don't have to type the full name. Use the *.* wildcard to replace any number of characters in file name and any extension, in your case command attrib .849C*.* should be enough
   
4. If r and / or s attributes are shown for the file, remove them with command attrib .849C*.* -r -s
   
5. Check that attributes r & s are removed
   
6. Delete the file with del .849C*.*

(Steps 3 & 5 not necessary; step 3 because removing attributes as in step 4 removes them if set but does no harm if not set, and step 5 because the attrib command works for 100% sure if no error messages are given.)

The file should be removed now. You can test with command dir .849C*.*, it should not be shown anymore.

 

Remove OneDrive from windows 10 image


I took this a step further and grabbed the install.wim out of the MS ISO. Added FW3.5, removed apps and removed OneDrive. Same exact issue, same exact error. I didn't try it with just OneDrive removal because honestly, that's not an option for me.

btw, Windows 10 ENT x64.

Looks like it'll have to be the Group Policy no OneDrive option for me.
