Windows 10: Unauthorized backup involving OneDrive

I took OneDrive off my computer when I first got it a couple of years ago but recently my computer automatically backed up to one drive and keeps trying to.do it again. I did a search of my C drive and found a ondrivebackup file that was created about a month before but not by me. I tried to shred it but got the message that it could not be shredded because it was also saved to a solid state drive. If my info is on the cloud, I'd like to get it off, but it said a solid state drive. Is there an explanation for this that doesn't involve being hacked? What should I do? OneDrive is not listed

W10 Mobile Lumia 830 Backup Not Being Saved to OneDrive

Thanks Chari San,

I understand I can not see what is contained in the backup stored on OneDrive, but I should see them listed. In my case there is not one being stored at all even though the phone reports it has backed up. See screenshots from OneDrive from my phone logged
into the same account the phone is and the backup settings page above. Without the backup on OneDrive my restored phone will lose at least call history, start screen setup and installed app list from what I have found.

Step #2 is not displayed on the new phone. (How can it restore a backup that is not on OneDrive at all). It skips over that step and I get a default install on the new phone without my call history, start page or app history. I'm not sure what else I
might be missing but for sure at least those 3 items do not come across.

How do I resolve this issue? Suggestions?

 

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.

 

Backup folder is not showing up on OneDrive settings.

On Windows 11, when I go into settings - accounts - it shows my OneDrive as backed up. When I actually log into OneDrive and look at the settings, the Backup tab is missing. I've tried all of the steps that are suggested including re-installing OneDrive but with no success. Thanks.
