    I wish I knew about this when I first received my Windows 11 PC. EVERYTHING on my PC seems to be in the OneDrive and now I can't even get my emails because it's full. What an absolute nightmare! Very unhappy with this forced backup/babysitting BS! That Linex PC is looking pretty good right now since I have to spend the next hour or so taking all my files out of the OneDrive and putting them on my C drive.

      Same with me! It's absolutely absurd that they forced this Onedrive onto unsuspecting consumers, without our permission. And then they deviously offer to sell us more space!! I paid enough for my PC and refuse to buy space from Windows. What a SCAM!!

    Please I need help, I bought a new computer and installed Windows 11 Pro. I didn't realized OneDrive was installed. When I saw OneDrive was making backups to the cloud without telling me or even wanting it to do so. I went to the Windows setting and uninstalled it. It is completely gone, but I still have the the OneDrive folder in my home directory, and within it, I have Desktop, Documents and Images folders. How to I fix it without losing the files in the those folders and deleting OneDrive folder and keeping it deleted for ever?

      Exactly. This doesn't remove Onedrive as a folder path, and you can't have the desktop without it going to Onedrive first. So Annoying. Plus, Onedrive will still ask you to sync whenever you add to a folder in Onedrive.

  • @JanetDax
    @JanetDax 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The problem with One Drive is that it backs up too much. It used to be it only backed up what you put in the Onedrive folder. Now it backs up everything making it unavailable locally. If you have games Onedrive can constantly backup working files, limiting bandwidth and system resources available to the game. You have no control.

    I went into one drive on my new windows 11 laptop and just unlinked it from my pc, I started having issues with it messing up game files the first three days of using the laptop. I did lose all my game saves and will have to start over but at least I do not have a lot of things saved on this pc and saving to the one drive app. That was very sneaky of Microsoft to have that thing up and going right out of the gate. It is pointless on a gaming pc that has 1TB of storage for game saves and files and it wants to store those to its useless 5GB. They just want to sell you a program. We will see if it causes anymore problems, if so I will delete it I guess.
