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.
