How to disable OneDrive and stop it from coming up when I use SAVE As

keelyinlagmailcom 

If you've already disabled OneDrive using the Group Policy Editor and the "Save As" still defaults to OneDrive, you can try a few additional steps to ensure that OneDrive integration is fully disabled. Please note that these steps involve editing the Windows Registry, so proceed with caution, and back up your system before making any changes.

Edit the Windows Registry:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.

2. Type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Windows Registry Editor.

Caution: The Windows Registry is a critical part of the operating system. Incorrect changes can cause serious issues. Be cautious and follow the steps carefully.

3. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} 

4. In the right pane, right-click on the "{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" key and choose "Delete."

5. Close the Registry Editor.

Restart Your Computer:

After making these changes, restart your computer to ensure that the changes take effect.

Verify OneDrive Uninstallation:

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to "C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive" (replace [YourUsername] with your actual username).
2. If the "OneDrive" folder is still present, delete it.

Check "Save As" Again:

After completing these steps, try using the "Save As" function in Excel to check if OneDrive is still the default location.

Note:

• If you're still having issues, it's possible that remnants of OneDrive may persist. In such cases, you may need to use a third-party uninstaller. There are various third-party uninstaller tools available that can help you remove software more thoroughly than the built-in uninstaller. One popular option is "Revo Uninstaller." You can visit the official website of Revo Uninstaller: https://www.revouninstaller.com/. Revo Uninstaller is just one option, and there are other uninstaller tools available. Always download such tools from reputable sources to ensure their safety and legitimacy.

Remember, making changes to the Windows Registry requires caution. If you are not comfortable with these steps, consider to contact OneDrive Microsoft Support for further guidance.
