Windows 10: Uninstalled One Drive, set internal drive to my PC, files still save to One Drive

I've tried everything to get rid of One Drive. I don't want it, I don't need it, and it will not go away. I uninstalled One Drive, and my system settings show that my SSD drive is default for all my file types. Still, to not have files save to One Drive, I have to go to Users, my user name, the folder, etc. If I simply save a file to Documents for example, it ends up on One Drive. One Drive doesn't even show in My Explorer window. I am so frustrated. Please help.One Drive doesn't even show on Explorer and has been uninstalled in SettingsOne Drive is still shown as default

how to optimally install windows and applications on a SSD drive and save all files to an internal hard drive

Currently I am performing an installation of windows 10 on a SSD drive. A windows 10 bootable iso was used. Currently it is updating windows. When it is complete I want to be able to install only applications onto the SSD drive. Then I would like all
files saved to the internal hard drive. Where is the settings or how do you configure windows so that by default all files are not saved to the drive in which the operating system is on and all of the files are saved by default to the internal hard drive?

The idea here is for any future windows 10 problems the operating system can be installed on the SSD drive without risking any files.

Please indicate how to optimally set this up.

The SSD is 250 GB. The internal hard drive is 1 TB.

Any comments on how to optimally set up the computer for the following are also appreciatied:

1) best performance

2) most privacy

3) setting all browsers including edge and IE for google search

4) any other suggestions for a fresh installation

There is a windows application that I have not yet used called File history.

If files were saved by default to the SSD drive and file history was used on the internal hard drive what would be the difference between:

the above set up and this set up?

For example the above set up allows the SSD drive to be formatted, sanitized and there is no loss of files.

The file history method appears to similar in that the files are saved to both the SSD drive and the internal hard drive. Then what happens if the os becomes corrupt? Can the SSD be formatted, sanitized and then files are moved from the internal hard drive
to the SSD drive? Do you end up with the same result or different result?

 

Internal drives

Hi

Thank you for your rep. The drives like the J,K,L ,M and X were in the computer when I started using it. here I am not talking about removing the drives but removing the files from the drives.

"Hi Team, I have a question that when I talk about the internal drives J, L ,X , M and K and recycle bin, and the desktop drives. Does clearing these drives save any cost for the company. Also , what is the difference between the desktop drives and internal
drives please. I am doing a production support review and I have Microsoft 10 on my system. Please help." Kindly help

 

Backing up an internal drive to another internal drive

I believe that when I set mine up it automatically did the whole lot initially, (they have all changed since the last file history backup).

i suggest you set it up, then click the backup now button, then have a look on e: to see whats there.

it is still worth backing up to an external drive, prevention against your pc bursting into flames and destroying all internal drives.
