How do I get rid of OneDrive

I, too, tried this. There was no choice that read "OnlineStorageService" on my computer, either. BUT, there was the choice of "StorageService". I followed the instructions, substituting  the latter for "online..." and I chose "disable".  

I thought it would work. But, after restarting my computer, OneDrive is still there, and gets offered as the first choice of where to save everything.

I hate the service; it's annoying. It slows things down. I don't need or want it. The technician said I can't get rid of it.

It's not right.

Save a file in what? Word? File explorer?

After upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10, whenever I wanted to save a Word or Excel file, it would make OneDrive the default choice, which caused me to save many things there by accident.  On my Win-10, a few weeks ago, I went through a procedure to eliminate OneDrive, but it did not work.  Today, OneDrive is back or maybe it was never eliminated.

There is no one simple fix for this issue. 

MS has worked long and hard to build OneDrive support into Office and Windows. They really don't want you to be able to disabled it ! So the final solution will take more than one process. And the specific processes will vary depending on Windows and Office versions <sigh>.

Part of the solution (or work around) is simply to not save your files in locations that OneDrive looks at to "sync" (synchronize) between your computer and the cloud.  If you can figure out how to turn off synchronization altogether better still (I haven't figured out that part yet).

This article tells how to turn off the Personal OneDrive on your business computer.  The tip does not work on Windows Home because it does not have gpedit.

Note, at the end  it has a line to the OneDrive equivalent of this forum. You are more likely to get better answers there, from OneDrive "experts".

Here are a couple of similar tips specific to Office 2013 (may still apply to 2016):
