  1. OneDrive under my ex's email has randomly appeared on my computer?


    Haven't seen the dude in about two or three months. I let him use my laptop once or twice for his school stuff a few months before that, he did save some documents on my computer. However, I've used Word a ton and saved a bunch of documents and never seen his OneDrive pop up. Today, I was saving a document (saving as if that matters) and while my University OneDrive was there and correct, the 'Personal' OneDrive was under his email. Today is the first time its shown up.

    Is he hacking me (lol) or is this just mistake left over from when he used my laptop before? How can I get rid of his account on my computer? I want to avoid getting in touch with him just because this dude is annoying lol. If anyone can help me out I would much appreciate it. Sorry if the answer is obvious I'm bad at computers and personally have never used OneDrive.

    OneDrive unable to find my contacts to share folders

    garybo125 thanks for your suggestion which I did but it did not resolve the issue with OneDrive insisting to use my contact's first email address instead of his second email address. Eventually I deleted my contact's first email address from my Outlook.com contacts list and OneDrive then added the correct address. It seems that if you have a contact with two email addresses OneDrive will always choose one and not the other!

    Berton OneDrive may not use the built-in Contacts Folder in C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE as mine is empty but of course I cannot verify this.

    "Email Attachments" folder appears in my OneDrive. Why?

    I notice that a folder named "Email Attachments" appears by itself in my OneDrive. The folder is empty. Deleting this folder makes it to reappear by itself later. This behavior started relatively recently. But since I use my OneDrive on multiple Windows 10 computers as well as on two Android devices, it is hard to figure out who's to blame here (if that's something on my side and not OneDrive itself).

    There are some Microsoft links on the Net that say that this folder is created when I manually choose to save attachments to OneDrive in the online Outlook.com email client. I do use my old Hotmail address as my OneDrive profile address, but I don't visit Outlook.com and don't save any attachments there.

    BTW, my OneDrive is a regular OneDrive account (used with built-in into Windows 10 clients), not OneDrive for Business or anything like that.

    I don't need this "Email Attachments" folder and I don't want it to appear in my OneDrive. Is there any way to stop it from appearing? Or at least to figure out what triggers its creation?

    "Email Attachments" folder appears in my OneDrive. Why?

    Basically, the problem is unsolvable at the time.

    "The feature to permanently prevent OneDrive from creating the Email Attachments folder is not yet available."

    Also: Please don't auto-create the email attachments folder – Feature Suggestions for Microsoft OneDrive

    Those geniuses at Microsoft did it again... Facepalm.
