Answer 1

To remove OneDrive from your computer, you can follow these steps:

1. Uninstall OneDrive:
   • If you're using Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can uninstall OneDrive by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find Microsoft OneDrive in the list, click on it, and select Uninstall.
   • Alternatively, you can run the OneDrive client setup package with the command: OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall from a command prompt.
2. Remove Shortcuts:
   • After uninstalling, you may want to delete any remaining shortcuts that may have been created. You can find them in the following locations:
     • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft OneDrive.lnk
     • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\OneDrive.lnk
     • %USERPROFILE%\Links\OneDrive.lnk
3. Block OneDrive from Reinstalling:
   • If you want to prevent OneDrive from being reinstalled or advertised, you can enable the Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage policy if you are using a version of Office that supports it.

By following these steps, you should be able to completely remove OneDrive from your computer.

In addition, turn off folder sync in Manage Backup first. That will allow you to return your Desktop, Pictures, and Documents folders to their default locations in File Explorer. Otherwise, you won't be able to remove the OneDrive folder after uninstalling OneDrive.
