I had around 5000 pictures in my camera roll(Lumia 540) which were automatically uploaded in my onedrive folder. Recently due to low space, I have transferred all my pictures to my PC. But my phone is automatically downloading from onedrive and syncing.  Even though I stopped syncing, I tried deleting pictures from my phone also. 

How to stop my phone automatically download the pictures from one drive. ?

    1. In the OneDrive app, tap Menu in the upper-left corner, then tap Settings .
    2. In the Settings box, tap Camera upload, then turn off Camera upload to stop automatically upload photos and videos to OneDrive.

    I don't find Camera upload option in Onedrive app.  I switched off the auto upload in photos app already. 

    And my phone still downloads files from Onedrive. I don't have storage space in my phone.

    There is no "Menu" in the upper-left corner. Don't know if this is just from an update or something. Instead, try clicking "Me" in the lower right corner, then you will find "Settings"
