OneDrive taking up space on C drive
My OneDrive is taking up a lot of space on my C drive. I thought OneDrive was in the Cloud. Did I set it up wrong? Any tips or ideas on how to save space on my C drive when I am using OneDrive? Thank...
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 found this too. However,, if you do not have the "Always keep on this device" setting set in the folder that exists both on OneDrive and your PC, it still keeps is there whenever you access the file but I believe right clicking on the folder on the PC and and choosing "Free up space" will remove it from you PC (but will keep the link to OneDrive). Try this to see if it work for you. This Status in explorer against the file of folder will indicate if the file is on cloud only or also locally. This are only my observations from my experience . Test this to see if it work for you.
