    Question about Onedrive deleting files?


    I have a folder of work files that I just copy to Onedrive so I can access them from my other PC’s.


    When I update that folder I just want to delete it from Onedrive and recopy the entire folder. When I delete that folder will Onedrive try to delete the folder or files on my PC I am copying?


    I don’t want Onedrive to automatically delete anything on my PC or anything in Onedrive I don’t specifically delete in Onedrive. Do I need to unsync 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.
