How to delete onedrive from pc permanently in windows 10

How to delete OneDrive from Windows PC? If you want to completely disable OneDrive rather than uninstall it, Group Policy is the most effective official method. 

First, a crucial distinction: The Group Policy Method disables OneDrive rather than performing a traditional uninstall . This means the OneDrive files remain on your system, but the application is prevented from running or syncing any data. This is a key difference if you are looking for a complete software removal.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to delete OneDrive from Windows PC using this method, along with the effects you can expect.

1. Open the Group Policy Editor: Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.

2. Navigate to the OneDrive Policy: In the left pane of the Local Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive.

3. Enable the Policy: In the right pane, double-click on the policy setting named "Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage".

4. Set the Policy to 'Enabled': In the new window that opens, select the Enabled radio button. Click OK to save the change.

5. Restart Your Computer: For the policy to take full effect, you must restart your PC.

Once this policy is enabled and you restart, you will see several immediate changes on your computer:

• The OneDrive app will be prevented from starting and syncing files.
• The OneDrive icon will disappear from the navigation pane in File Explorer.
• Users will be unable to access OneDrive from the file picker or other apps.
• Photos and videos will no longer be automatically uploaded from the camera roll folder.
