    Stop syncing OneDrive, then select which folders to sync


    I have a new computer, which by default, decided to synch all of my folders 500GB to OneDrive. Quickly OneDrive ran out of space 5GB. So I followed the instructions to decide which folders to synch, and the App told me that no, I cannot do this until ALL the folders had finished uploading. So... I cannot chose

    OneDrive Selective Sync Error


    When trying to deselect a folder to stop it from syncing, I get the following error message:

    Stop syncing OneDrive, then select which folders to sync [​IMG]


    I know that he folder that I am trying to unsync is not changing. In fact, nothing is being changed and the onedrive icon in the taskbar says so too.

    Any thoughts?
