Windows 10: Uninstalled OneDrive on Windows 10 before unlinking PC

Microsoft Support tells me to reinstall OneDrive, but when I do it ends up being the OneDrive PWA version looks like a folder with a blue cloud on the task bar and the correct version which looks like a blue cloud on the taskbar. Right clicking does NOT allow access to Help & Settings where it is possible to unlink the PC.


The issue is that with OneDrive uninstalled, four key folders Attachments, Desktop, Documents and Pictures are still linked with OneDrive under This PC. What can I do to completely unlink OneDrive? I've spent several days with email back and forth to Microsoft Support with no progress!

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.

[/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
