    Want to delete files from OneDrive, but they seemed to disappear from computer as well...


    My subscription to OneDrive has ended so I want to reduce my OneDrive files. When I did that they seemed to disappear from my computer as well.. Why should this be?


    How can I just delete items from OneDrive only?


    Thanks.

    :)

    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.

    Onedrive deleting files from computer

    Since some of my games and other stuff stores itself in areas like Documents and Desktop. OneDrive decides to sync all of that and then tell me that my OneDrive doesn't have any space left. So, what I do is delete files from OneDrive, expecting that it
    deletes the file from OneDrive, but no. It deletes the files from my COMPUTER. Now when I try to re-install the files, I can't. Because there isn't enough space after installing the exact
    same files. Could I ask that someone make a difference between OneDrive deleting and PC deleting.
