    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.

    Changing Offline Files Location

    Hello Adlai,

    Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

    How did you sync the files, with OneDrive or third-party software? Would you please describe your usage scenario in detail or send me a screenshot/photo of it, and include it in the next reply to help me understand your situation better?




    • If it's third-party software, I suggest you seek further technical support from the provider of that software.
    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
