    Remove OneDrive Folder


    Hi can I ask a little advice please I have just reformatted my computer and installed the latest version of windows as a clean install it is Version 20H2 build 19042.746
    All was ok but I then noticed when I looked at the folder Users then at my name there was a folder called OneDrive and, in this folder, there are 3 other folders called Desktop, Documents, Pictures. And things started going wrong when I tried to delete a folder from me desktop, I said unable the delete as the folder was open in another app
    I then thought this was probably the OneDrive folder so I uninstalled the OneDrive app and I was then able to delete the folder
    But now everything on my desktop is in this OneDrive folder and I am not able to delete it even though OneDrive is not on my computer anymore.
    I dont think this folder was there before but I might be wrong is it possible to get remove this folder please

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

  3. onedrive duplicating my folders...

    Hi.

    Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
    Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
    thousands of users have issues with it.

    Thanks

    Michel
