    When i delete a file from OneDrive, it automatically syncs back


    Hello, I have a problem with onedrive that no one has been able to help me with so far. It is about the fact that I have files on OneDrive with a total size of about 100 GB, and part of the content of these files are word documents, excel, pdf, images and also files with the extension .eml. These are downloaded emails from the thunderbird client directly into the folder as a backup of these important emails. Some of these files were probably corrupted before I switched to onedrive, or they got corrupted after I don't know, anyway about 10 .eml files are 0kb in size and when I try to open the

    How does Windows 10 conversion setup offline OneDrive files by default


    When I migrate to Windows 10,

    • Placeholders will be deleted from my local OneDrive folder.
    • Per folder selective sync will be available.
    But that leaves a question…

    • Will per folder selective sync be turned OFF by default at conversion?
      • This means offline files on the local OneDrive folder will be orphaned.
      • Therefore, to avoid confusion, I’d need to either (a) delete them since they’re available online and since sync is off, or (b) turn on selective sync for the folder they’re in and sync all files in the folder, or (c) do nothing if OneDrive automatically deleted them in the conversion.

    • Or, will per folder selective sync be turned ON by default for folders that have offline files in them, syncing all files in such a folder?

    • Or, will OneDrive try to sync all folders to my local OneDrive, overwhelming the smaller drive on my laptop?
    It seems to me this would be important to know, but I've not been able to find anything on it.

    When i delete a file from OneDrive, it automatically syncs back

    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.
