So it was Sharegate that "did". I mean, I did it, through Sharegate. Sharegate also had the ability to undo it as well. I used a PowerShell script that MSFT provided instead (they were first).

 

It was interesting to troubleshoot with MSFT.

 

The setting is under the good old "central admin" now SharePoint admin. We used the user profile to check to see if "My Site" had a secondary admin, and it did.

 

Funny to see how little they have changed the UI. We looked under  "Setup My Sites" to see if there was a default secondary admin or secodary owner.

 

Thanks everyone for you help!!!

    Having serious issues with Share gate, It let me add these global permissions but not revoke them.
    Eric, could you perhaps share the script Microsft Supplied?

     

    Many thanks.

    I removed the secondary owner in the central admin center but it did not remove it - is this something that takes 24 hours to perform this task?

      I got a powershell script to remove my permissions from all OneDrive users. Thanks.
