When installing it seems to be not working at all, because it's lazy. Then you remove that useless directory and presto: all your onedrive content is in the trash bin at MS site ! Be carefull !

What application did you actually install as there are a few which are detailed here.
There are 5 reliable ways to access OneDrive on Linux/Unix platforms:
* Via the OneDrive Client for Linux - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive - this 'syncs' your data, bi-directional operation, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business & SharePoint account types and Shared Folders. A Docker container is also available for all major architectures (i686, x86_64, ARMHF, AARCH64). If you need a GUI for onedrive client management use: https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI
* Via the 'onedriver' client - https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver - Native file system that only provides the OneDrive 'on-demand' functionality, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business account types. Currently does not support Shared Folders or SharePoint.
* Via 'rclone' - https://rclone.org/ - one way sync client, open source and free. Has limitations with SharePoint.
* Via non-free clients such as 'insync', 'ExpanDrive'
* Via the web browser of your choice
Please note - if you install 'onedrive' on Ubuntu from Ubuntu provided packages - it will install by default a systemd service that describes your behavior. The correct way to install 'onedrive' on Ubuntu distributions is to follow: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/ubuntu-package-install.md
