Would it have been too much to simply add a button that says "Unsync"? How the hell did they mess something like this up? How couldn't they think that people would want to remove things from OneDrive only? It's such a simple yet fundamentally major design flaw that I can't wrap my head around it.

It's actually making me think about learning how to use Linux and getting rid of Windows completely. Not only was the upgrade a downgrade to many applications, it somehow exposed my credit card information to Bangledeshi scammers and I'm not exactly sure how, but immediately after I upgraded, I had a pending charge to my account that said it was from Microsoft, and concurrently an email from a Bangleshi scam company that said thank your for updating your Norton antivirus, we will be charging your credit card $360. I'm overseas and it is the only credit card that I have and I had to cancel it. Thanks Microsoft. Plus, I think Bill Gates is a criminal who should be on death row.

Today, I just mistakenly clicked YES to back up my Documents folder in my PC to my OneDrive, which I thought the system would allow me to choose which file, but it happened to be all the files in my Documents folder. The problem is, once I did that, there is no turning back, which I tried many times to unsync OneDrive, unlink it as well as to stop back up the folder. What happened was, all my files in the Document folder on my PC disappeared too. It seems that OneDrive has removed all my files from the PC to the OneDrive folder and never allows me to bring them back to my PC. I hope you could do a video or may be explain here on how to solve this problem.

And there's no need to have this on my OneDrive folder online. PLEASE ONEDRIVE JUST WORK LIKE DROPBOX. 1) Get the hell out of documents. 2) Don't delete stuff unless I ask bro. 3). Don't sync stuff I don't want you to sync. We can only dream.

I bought a new computer and was moving files and folders over from an external hard drive. I kept getting annoying pop-ups telling me I'm filling up One Drive, until the final one that said it's 101% full and I can no longer sync or save data. That freaked me out but now I see it's nothing to do with my latop, just the OneDrive. I never asked to use One Drive, heck I didn't even know what it was. I found I could stop using it but when I clicked on it, it gave me a warning that made me wonder if what's stored there will be deleted. It would be nice if they actually asked us first if we wanted it and what we actually want to put in the cloud, Thank you for your video. I've been searching for days trying to find out what's what and your video explains the whole process very well. I still have a qburning uestion though. Mine says I have 239 sync issues. After watching your video, I clicked to see what was in it and there are so many folders affected with maybe one file each with a X on them. From my point of view, it would be a monumental task to get those files back one by one. Unless you have a better option, although I dread doing it, I can stop the association like you direced, (I do not want anything to do with OneDrive) and then move all 700 gigs of data over to the new laptop again. This, along with many admin issues and my computer forcing me to sign up with MS before I could even download the Chrome browser had me ready to pack it up and return it. I've never had such a hard time settng up a new computer and I've been using them since 1998. I have been Googling for everything which is non-existant in the computer manual and that really has me upset that I've already wasted a week of my time. I'd appreciate any adivce you have to offer.

A follow up video on what to do after removing OneDrive would be great. Like; How to change the file paths for your programs when saving Pictures, Documents etc. For example in Office programs such as word, It will continue to save to the one drive folder still on your PC. Whereas most users would like to have everything saved and routed to the default locations on the PC. One Drive is a nightmare and is a disgusting irritating bug rooted deep into windows and I hate it. I hate that windows is like this. I never asked or gave explicate permission to OneDrive to re route my destination paths for everything. At this point after removing one drive and uninstalling it on my PC, app don't work cause it can't find the paths it used to find. Learning how to create a new path is a real pain.

Unless you see a slash and not the > symbol, then you're looking at an abbreviated filepath. What you should do to double check the full filepath is to click on "Local Disk (C:)" or whatever drive you're in, select the "Users" folder, select the User logged into the computer and then check both the Documents folder and OneDrive folder which both inhabit that particular user's folder. Within the OneDrive folder is also a "Documents" folder but it is NOT the same location as the Documents folder that was located up one generation in the specific user's folder. Copy the "Documents" folder located in the OneDrive folder, navigate up one tier into the user's folder and paste into THAT folder. On that tier, since there is a Documents folder, once you paste the copied folder into the user's folder, it will overwrite that stand-alone Documents folder and your stuff will now exist in a location outside of the OneDrive folder.

@Ask Leo. Leo, my computer says my locally saved files/ documents are actually saved on one drive instead of my PC. Would copying those files into an external SSD hard drive prevent those files from being deleted on my computer if I deleted them from one drive online? Currently if I were to un sync one drive I am not able to access my locally saved computer files since they were saved on my one drive. However I was able to copy the same files from my external hard drive an access them that way. Is there a way to save my local files in to my pc and not have on one drive without copying a new file in to my external SSD This came about because my university had our one drive accounts reduced from 1tb to 20gb which means I am over now, so I am trying to reduce my storage by actually removing my supposedly local files from being saved synced into one drive which is about 20.4gb The problem seems to be that the default location of my saved files/ documents is one drive so I ended up having my document file linked to one drive so I had two, one in my computer and one in my one drive. 😢

There's a free tier with all Microsoft accounts, so yes, normal.

I just unlinked OneDrive from my PC, but before I totally delete it, I checked properties on one of the files on my PC and it still has OneDrive in the file path. How do I get rid of this?

One drive kept reactivating itself on startup after I had unchecked that option in settings so I uninstalled the application

I don't trust One Drive after Microsoft wouldn't accept my Microsoft account password when setting up my new laptop forcing me to use a disused email address. All my cloud stuff goes in Dropbox and Google Drive.

You have to conclude that Microsoft named two folders Documents to be intentionally confusing. Scummy business practices. The reason I switched to Linux years ago.

I decided foolishly to use this onedrive crap and it automatically synced my whole computer and fucked up everything. WHY? I will not be using this shit after I fix my shit.

I'm at my wits end with Onedrive! I run Adobe Lightroom, and Windows 11. I imported my camera files to my Laptop 'Pictures' folder, and did not understand that Onedrive was syncing this folder to the cloud. I have struck a problem with Onedrive - it is stuck on syncing 2 files. The toolbar icon, when hovered over, says 'Onedrive - Personal Processing 2 changes'. In the meantime I am not able to make changes e.g to file names in Lightroom. The syncing process has made the files currently inaccessible. After striking problems with Onedrive earlier, I tried unlinking my laptop. Then all my photos in the Explorer directory on my laptop displayed a brown box on their corner. What does that mean? Meanwhile Onedrive still has not finished processing the 2 files. What now?

Well i dragged my files to one drive 2 weeks ago but my speed is low and now i can't access 60+gb of data without letting it fully sync. Can i fix that somehow?

One drive is a cancer on my machine. I've lost so much data over bad syncing. I unlinked my account, it keeps relinking. I changed the desktop to the the default - now I have two desktops, the onedrive one is the one that functions as an actual desktop that seemingly randomly overwrites my files with older versions from time to time.
