Windows 10: onedrive repeats upload

OneDrive repeats uploading the same file over and over. Completes, then starts all over again. Does not stop.

How best to get 150 GB uploaded to OneDrive.

I was in a similar situation. This method worked for me but the caveat is you need sufficient hard drive space.

1. Setup the files/folders in a folder (not onedrive) lets call it temp for uploading. Break them into groups of files that make sense and you can work with easily. Setup a second folder, lets call that completed uploads
2. Setup the onedrive client to sync the local onedrive folder to the cloud
3. Copy a small group of the files from the temp folder into the onedrive folder
4. Monitor onedrive it should upload over time in the background
5. Once uploaded move the completed files from the temp folder into the completed folder
6. Repeat these steps
7. Once everything has gradually moved into onedrive delete the temp and completed folders that are local on your hard drive, leaving the migrated files in the onedrive folder (and synced).

Depending on your network and internet connection speeds this can take a while but is a method you can just leave doing its thing.

 

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.
