Windows 10: What are the different ways OneDrive is installed on a system?

I needed to clean space on my hard disk yesterday and found my files for desktop, documents, and pictures in an Onedrive folder on my c:\ drive. Then I uninstalled Onedrive because it kept trying to synch a large amount of my files. I don't want all my files synching to a server that takes forever and it appears that when I installed Microsoft 365 this backup feature is automatically enabled. I can't believe there is not a notification of this when installing MS Office 365. Now I'm spending my whole day trying to restore my business files I lost upon deleting the onedrive folder in my c:\driv

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.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern. Let me help you to fix the issue.

To assist you better, please provide us more information.

• 
  Did you configured OneDrive on your system?
  
• What are the other application are you trying to install?
• Did you uninstall OneDrive? If yes, please elaborate the steps.

As you said you are trying to re-install OneDrive, I would like to inform you that you cannot uninstall/reinstall the OneDrive which come in-build with the Operating system. However, you have to configure your email account to access OneDrive.

Let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue. I suggest you to unregister and re-register the Windows installer and check if this helps.

• 
  Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER, and then click OK.
  Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs.
  
• 
  Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER, and then click OK.
  Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs, or you may briefly see an hourglass. After you run this command, the operation is complete.
  

Let us know the result for further assistance.

[/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.
