How to stop this pop-up? [Windows 11]
My specs and stuff aren't really necessary for this to be fixed. Is there any way to stop this pop-up? For reference, I was running low on storage space, so I decided to uninstall a ton of apps. Now, every time I open the File Explorer, I get this pop-up. Is there any way to stop it from doing this every time I open File Explorer? I tried disabling OneDrive in the settings, but it still does this. Is it possible to fix?

The pop-up you're seeing is likely what's known as a "sync provider notification." It's essentially an ad or a suggestion to back up your files to OneDrive that appears in File Explorer. Even after you uninstall apps or try to disable the app, these prompts can persist because they're controlled by a separate setting.
