How to fully disable Onedrive? its driving me insane.

It's just meddling with my files so much that sometimes when im off the internet the backed up files would just go missing and a lot of them are software save files in Documents so its really bothering me. I have no idea how to remove Onedrive entirely, or how to turn off the backup at least.

    Hi zkinks​,

    one easy option is to just sign out of OneDrive.

    Other ways are to uninstall the client and/or set the relevant registry values.
    If you’d like, I can test this for you.


    Or are you fine with just signing out and disabling auto‑start?

    After uninstalling, OneDrive files may still remain in your user folder; you can delete the OneDrive folder manually.
