One Drive: How To Totally Get Rid Of ?

[Robert11]

Hello,

Happy Holidays to all.

After a power glitch, had to re-install w10.
Have it working again.

But-

The re-install apparently put One-Drive on my pc.

It's causing me all sorts of problems.

How do I TOTALLY eliminate it from pc ?

If/when I do, will I lose anything ?
The reason I ask is that it seems the path to most every Folder seems to show One Drive
in the path name.

Thoughts on this "possibility" would also be appreciated, as I would hate to lose anything due to eliminating One Drive.

Thanks; appreciate the help,
Bob

Can you simply uninstall OneDrive from the Start Menu icon? When I right click its icon on my Start Menu, there's an option to Uninstall.
But before you attempt this, be sure to backup your Desktop files somewhere because I don't know if the uninstallation will wipe them or not. I'd hope Microsoft would preserve them but...
