OneDrive taking up space on C drive
You might want to read up on it a bit. Assuming you are using recent W10 version, you can configure Files on demand: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-onedrive-files-on-demand-in-windows-0e6860d3-d9f3-4971-b321-7092438fb38e?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
I'm having the same issue. I have two notebooks. The 8-year-old PC is fine, not automatically linked to OneDrive. The new notebook I got about 10 months ago came with OneDrive integrated so thoroughly into the hard drive that you can't tell where OneDrive begins and your own C drive ends. The lines are completely blurred. The easiest thing to do I found is to go into OneDrive Settings and in the pop-pup window, under the Account tab and click on Unlink this PC. BUT when I did that, suddenly, I hardly had any space left on my PC because it seemed like what's on my OneDrive loaded onto the C-drive. That's what happened in my case. You can try that and see if it does on your PCs. It's insidious.
