    OneDrive no option to remove excluded items


    I was experimenting with the exclude list. Now, I see no way to remove items from that list. A search revealed nothing. There's supposed to be a Settings > File Filter option, but I don't see anything like that.

    :)

    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.

    Exclude OneDrive from backup

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will try to provide the assistance that is required to resolve the issue.

    I would like to inform that in Windows 10 Sky Drive has converted into One Drive. As per your query, I am led to believe that you wish to remove/exclude OneDrive from the list of backup files. If that is the case follow the steps that are mentioned below
    and check if it helps.

    Exclude files from Backup.

    1. Open Control Panel by right-clicking on the Start Menu and choosing
    Control Panel. Click or tap System and Security,
    and then tap or click File History.

    2. To exclude some folders in your libraries so they do not get backed up, on the left, choose
    Exclude Folders.

    3. Choose the file, folder or location that you wish to exclude and click on
    Add.

    4. Once you have added the desired file, click the back arrow to get back to the
    File History window.

    Hope this information helps.

    Exclude folder(s) from Shadow Copy

    Hi,
    Is there any possible way to exclude certain folders from Shadow Copy? Like OneDrive folder?

    Certain folders, such as OneDrive is not necessary to include and take up file size in Shadow Copy, if we are able to exclude this we would be able to go further back in time within folders we actually need to check previous versions on.

    I've tried to add certain areas in the FilesNotToBackup & FilesNotToSnapshot in regedit, and found a note in the Documentation that it does not actually remove this from Shadow Copy. Is there other options here? Only suggestion i found somewhere was to make a script that lists all copies, mounts them and deletes the folders but this is not a viable option for us.

    Hope to hear some solutions, thanks.
