Maybe you turned on the automatic upload setting when signing in to OneDrive for the first time.

If you no longer want to automatically add photos to OneDrive, you could search your PC for "AutoPlay settings” and then change this setting.
More information about saving photos to OneDrive, please refer to “Save photos and videos to OneDrive automatically”.

OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files. It lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere on all your devices.
And OneDrive may reduce the risk of losing your documents to some degree.
