How to modify which folders to backup on android onedrive app

What does "Categorise in sub-folders" do?

When enabled, OneDrive organizes your backed-up photos into date-based sub-folders inside your Camera Roll folder (e.g., Camera Roll/2026/2026-06).

This keeps things tidy if you browse via "My Files", but it doesn't affect the Photos tab – that view always shows all your images in a timeline regardless of folder structure.

For someone who just wants photo backup, it's purely an organizational preference – enable it if you like order, leave it off if you prefer everything in one folder.

How do I delete all those old screenshots quickly?

The app doesn't have a "delete all screenshots" button, but here's the easiest way:

• On a computer, go to onedrive.com and sign in.
• Navigate to My Files > Pictures > Camera Roll (or check if you have a separate Screenshots folder).
• Switch to List view, sort by Name, select all the "Screenshot" files, and delete them.
• Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently free up space.

If you're on Windows with OneDrive synced, you can also do this directly in File Explorer – just search Screenshot* and delete the results.

One quick tip: Make sure you've already turned off backup for the Screenshots folder in your device folder settings – that way, new ones won't keep piling up.

Hope that helps!
