    Removing OneDrive


    I have just bought a DELL 27 7777 AIO computer.

    It has a small SSD and a 2TB HDD.

    It also has OneDrive pre-installed which I do not want.

    I have Uninstalled it and removed reference to it from those parts of windows 10 that I could easily access.

    However OneDrive it still appearing in some folder file paths. Which is really annoying as I am trying to redirect data input to the large HDD and prevent the SSD from filling up.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    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.

    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.

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
