    Unsync OneDrive


    I want to unsync and cancel my OneDrive account it's an old free one but none of the instructions that Microsoft provides work. When I open the account and click on Help, there is no Settings area. If I click on the Settings icon, I see Options, but there is no option for unsyncing or deleting the account. Basically, all I see are several messages about how I should buy more storage! What I want is to get rid of this miserable "service".

    :)

    UNsync OneDrive

    I just got a Windows 10 Pro Dell XPS. In Windows Explorer, when contents of This PC are displayed, what are the 'pushpins' next to Desktop, Downloads, Documents, etc (in the left pane)?


    When I transferred all my files to the Documents folder, OneDrive started to upload them. I do NOT want them all uploaded to OneDrive. I closed OneDrive, ended up in Settings somewhere and unsynced it. It continues to upload all my files when I turn the pc on again. This is a major problem here

    Unsynced OneDrive Folders

    Folders I've chosen not to sync to my computer from One Drive will not appear in File Explorer. Combined with the disappearance of the OneDrive App, the only way to access unsynced OneDrive folders is by opening a browser. Am I doing something wrong?
