Windows 10: Restore OneDrive Deleted through the Registry

Hi,

All looking for feedback from the community. I was trying to clean up my OneDrive account by unlinking the account and then deleting it via the Registry Editor menu. When I try to now install the a new instance of Business OneDrive it keeps giving me error. It prompts me to choose the default folder OneDrive - XXX My company or choose a different location. In case of my company folder i do not see that folder under c/user and when I try creating a new folder and trying to sync it still gives me the same error contact support. somehow it is not finding the OneDrive client on my computer, although have tried downloading and installing it many times. Is there some command i can run to first clean any instance of OneDrive and then install the default settings for my OneDrive .


Thank you for your feedback!

I am getting very frustrated with gpu-z

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

I have been trying to delete this program for 2 days solid. I've gone into the Admin. Tools>Startup, I've tried the Norton Start up list, I've combed all through the hard drive, but it is not there. It is in the registry, but it will NOT DELETE! I can't believe this. Not even deletion through the registry can take this thing off my system. I'm gonna try a restore, because that's about the only thing I haven't tried yet. But if it can't be deleted through the registry, I'm not that hopeful for Restore to affect it. I'll post my results.

 

How to restore registry values?

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

You can perform system restore and check if it helps:

Perform System restore.

I suggest you to perform system restore and select a date prior to the changes which was done with the registry values and check if the issue gets fixed.

To perform System restore:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  System.
• In the left pane, click on System Protection.
• Select the option to system restore
  > next. It will show all restore points already created.
• Select the date prior to the date on which you have made the registry changes.

To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article
