I tried to install az powershell with the command Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser -SkipPublisherCheck -Force And the process failed with error message "PackageManagement\Install-Package : Access to the cloud file is denied ". I didn't see a pop up ask me sign in and I'm pretty sure my credential is still valid. The error message 80788-az-powershell.pngis hard to understand. Can someone help take a look at it? Any ideas are appreciated. Error screenshot is attached.

    I had similar problems with AzureADPreview and uninstalling AzureAD when the store location is OneDrive.

    Use Get-Module -ListAvailable to see the location of the modules.

    Perform the following and replace the AzureADPreview with the module your trying to install:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
    Install-Module AzureADPreview -Repository PSGallery -AllowClobber
    Import-Module AzureADPreview
    Get-Module

    Your module should have loaded, and it seems the execution policy is causing the issues.

    Install-Module -Name powershellget -force -AllowPrerelease -Verbose -Repository PSGallery -AllowClobber
    Import-Module PowerShellGet -Verbose

    PowerShellGet 3.0.11-beta is supposed to fix the uninstall module but that doesn't seem to work.
    I find deleting the folders from the store is the only way at the moment when the modules are in the OneDrive folder.
