    Where are the directories that are NOT on OneDrive?


    I've been working on this for days--everyone at Microsoft is completely stumped by this. Maybe someone here has the answer!I don't want to use OneDrive for a variety of reasons. However, on my new HP Envy laptop with Office 365 and Windows 11, that is my only option. The below three screen shots show the various options I have for setting up a default save directory. The image immediately below this shows where it always goes--under OneDrive. I've disabled OneDrive, clicked on all the boxes, chosen a dozen different directories from all over the place, and the result is always the same--OneDri

    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.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
