Windows 10: Windows 10 explorer "Delete" key and "mouse click + delete" have no effect on Onedrive files

Since a couple of days, the Windows 10 explorer "Delete" key and "mouse click + delete" have no effect at all when they are executed on Onedrive folders or files.


This happened after a saturation of my Onedrive space, probably hampering the synchronisation.
However, even after I did a major cleanup using the web onedrive interface, thereby reducing the used space to 60%, the problem is still there.

Stopping and/or restarting the Onedrive process does not solve the problem and rebooting neither.


I am running the latest Windows 10 version; after I detected this problem, my PC got a big W10 update involving a series of reboots, but this unfortunately did not solve the problem.


I also tried to delete the files using Total Commander as an alternate to the explorer and there I get an error message "Please remove the write protection!". It looks like Onedrive is kind of "write protected" for windows application.
However, I do not see any write protection in the files properties, and I found other ways to delete the files..


Anybody else experiencing that problem?


I tried these two workarounds with success:


1) Dos prompt:

- delete the files using the "Del" command works fine


2) Moving files and/or folders to a non-onedrive location

- mouse select the files and/or folders,

- drag them to the desktop or another "non-onedrive" folder,

- delete them there.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
