Delete all photos from Onedrive cloud

Question

How do I delete every photo and video in my Onedrive (Cloud) account? I have over 250,000.

Answer 1

Hello,

There are more than one way to go about this.

To find the most efficient way to do so, and also because deletion can sync across device, I have a few questions first.

Do you currently have OneDrive desktop app running on your computer?

How much storage space is currently taken up by Files in OneDrive?

You just want them gone in OneDrive cloud, but you want to keep local files from devices, right?

Answer 2

It's worth mentioning that a few years ago Onedrive offered a settings option to "store photos in Files" and I deselected that. They do not appear under "Files".
