How to empty my Onedrive

Question

Recently I stop Onedrive sync for several days, and during this time, I sorted many files and folders. I mean moved many files, created some folders and changed the location. While when I turn on Sync again, the Onedrive prompt that a lot of files was deleted from some folders, and would you like to deleted? I just clicked no Then it starts to download files and create folders on my local laptop, that's absolutely nightmare!!! It just wants to combine my local moved files/folders, and the online old folders and files!!!!!! What should I do?
I am trying to stop sync again, and delete all files/folders on the Onedrive, but it seems I can't delete a folder if it is not empty...

Hi,

Did you remove folder from OneDrive folder or from Web?

You can try to unlink account to stop sync in OneDrive directly:
