    System Restore 0x80071ac5 error keeps failing due to OneDrive files


    I attempted to use the windows restore point feature, but after its completion a message similar to this appeared: I have already tried installing one drive and deleting the folder responsible yet this yields no result.

    Restore Fail Help

    Researching the error number, and noting the path relates to icloud - some sort of cloud synching backup? - it is interesting to find this as the first hit, relating in this case to OneDrive:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...8-ec534e3a6de4 with an identically formatted error.

    It does seem surprising this relates to a folder path apparently related to data.

    What you might try is running System Restore either in Safe Mode or from Advanced Startup options, but I wouldn't be too hopeful.

    Exact same thing here:
    How to handle error message (0x80071ac5) when System Restore fails in Windows 10? | SolveForum

    - tends to suggest some flaw related to cloud backup...

    My experience - when SR fails there's little hope of getting it working again. When it happened to me- a few months later all was fine again.. maybe after an upgrade (hence try an in-place upgrade repair install as Ghot has advised).
