    If you are receiving pop-ups about OneDrive storage after removing it from your computer, it may be due to residual settings or files that are still linked to OneDrive. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    1. Unlink OneDrive: Ensure that OneDrive is completely unlinked from your Microsoft account. You can do this by going to the OneDrive settings if it’s still accessible and selecting the option to unlink.
    2. Check Startup Programs: Sometimes, OneDrive may still be set to run at startup. Check your startup programs and disable OneDrive if it appears there.
    3. Remove OneDrive from the System: If you haven’t already, you may need to uninstall OneDrive completely from your system through the Control Panel or Settings app.
    4. Clear Notifications: If the pop-ups are notifications, you can check your notification settings in Windows and disable notifications for OneDrive.
    5. Check for Leftover Files: Look for any leftover OneDrive files or folders in your system and delete them to prevent any residual pop-ups.

    If the problem persists, you may want to consider resetting your Windows notifications or checking for any updates that might address this issue.
