Unlink OneDrive folder in Windows 10
Hello I have problem with OneDrive. User is not signed in OneDrive but the folder 'C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive - My Org' exist and you can browse all file names and open files which are cached locally. I have found out that you can clear saved user credentials by deleteing this json file (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/clear-onedrive-cached-credentials-5b7d944e-89ce-4fbd-812c-a1d93645cfd1) but this does not help because the user is not logged in OneDrive. del /q /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\PreSignInSettingsConfig.json" In this document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sync/onedrive-local-folder-name-not-updated it's guided to unlink the user account from OneDrive Settings but this cannot be done because user is not logged in OneDrive. I have also deleted this reg key as suggested in the document but this this did not help. reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive" /f 2>nul Only solution so far have been backing up all files, then removing the whole user profile but this is not practical. I would like to unlink the OneDrive by using PowerShell or a batch file.
Recent files
Recent files show files have been accessed today within minutes of this message. I have not accessed these files in most cases in months and in some cases years. I have tried Microsoft support but they haven't been able to help. Example: I have a word document called AC placement. I have not opened that document in more than a month. In the Recent area it shows that I accessed that document at 3:20 PM today, minutes before this post. I have excel document callled Sprinklers which I have not opened in 6 months. It lists ti as opened on 10/19/2023 at 12:10 PM. I am trying to understand if there is a probelm with oneDrive or is someone else accessing my documents through oneDrive.Circular blue arrows never go away on many files
Win 11 user with OneDrive. I create a lot of photoshop PSD files and, from them, JPG files. At one point, those would all get a green checkmark after a bit, but for quite some time now, they all stay blue round arrow circles. Likewise for many images saved from Snipping Tool. I'm still able to save Word and Excel automatically to OneDrive, but I don't know what could have cause this to stop with picture files on my Documents folder. I've only used about 20% of my OneDrive space, so it's not about that. ... You can see the clear line of delineation in the image from Exploring attached. On Aug 5, I used Snipping Tool to create jpg "A" and it's got the green check. But everything since, like image "B", created exactly the same way, stays blue arrows. This keeps me from being able to access my work when on the road. Would love some idea what could be stopping these files from moving successfully, since I don't see any error messages anywhere. ... In the second screen print, you can see that it ALWAYS says "Syncing" in Exploring (Should it? Should it ever just say "Synched"?) and that I've not filled my quota. Help appreciated!
Photos in Album
I've been trying to experiment with using OneDrive for Business (Education) as a photo album - we have a number of courses that have a lot of images, so having a searchable resourcce that's tagged etc,. would be ideal. However, all my reading of help pages would suggest that the album features available in OneDrive for personal use isn't yet available for Business users. What other solutions have people found (preferably as easy as possible from a technical point of view) Thanks.
Slow OneDrive uploadspeed!
For a few years i used an university MS-account with 2TB OneDrive storage. Now these cooperation runs out and i made my own MS account with those 1TB OneDrive storage. I have like ~500GB of data in that old OneDrive and right now try to copy everything to my new personal one... But the uploadspeed is horrible! Referring to speedtests I have like 50Mbit/s (Ethernet so quite stable) so ~ like 6.25MB/s upload. The maximum onedrive reaches is like 1.5MB/s.... and in average i get like 750kB/s... My PC is already running for 2 days... Do you have any idea to solve this problem or is this just something i have to accept? Is it possible that institutions like universities have better uploadspeeds, or are just prioritized and so on? Thanks in advance! BR
One Drive processing over 75K changes (Macintosh)...
This morning I noticed my One Drive folder in my DocK start to "jump" every 10 seconds or so. I investigated and the One Drive app was processing over 75K changes. I have not touched any file on my One Drive in a few weeks. I upgraded to the latest Mac OS Sequoia Beta about 1 week ago (not the one that just came out yesterday). This is odd behavior, IMHO. It doesn't look like there are any changes to the files, or changes to the update dates. I believe if MS or Apple changed something in the meta data of a file, that that changes might cause this behavior. Or if you "reset" OneDrive. In either case it is processing changes that are really not changes to the files, correct? I also read that MS is adding (unwanted in my opinion) AI features to 365. Could that be causing some behind the scene changes? Weird. BryanTagging Photos Across Logins
I have photos in shared folders that I'm having problems tagging (or seeing tags) across different OneDrive accounts using the desktop app. I can add & see tags in some, but not others and vice versa. Some photos won't allow me to add tags at all. I have checked to make sure the files accept tags, tried multiple computers loggged into the same OneDrive account as well as those I've shared the file with and can't seem to find how/when I'm given the "permission" to add tags or not. Also odd that sometimes the tags show up across devices/accounts while others don't. Please help!

So recently I started noticing SharePoint process in working in background. (I used procexp.exe app). I don't have SharePoint installed on my computer, so I clicked on it and looked it's path in properties. It took me to "Microsoft OneDrive" folder, but the process .exe file was in folder with a lot of nums in it's name. Name looks like a.b.c.d (a, b, c, d are some numbers) So this folder has 2 folders with nums in the name, first one has only one file, while second has a lot more folders, dll files, some .exe and some other types, and the Microsoft.SharePoint.exe which is the process exe file I saw in procexp. While I don't really use any Microsoft apps (I only use Word, where I have autosave option disabled). And, as I mentioned, I don't have SharePoint installed, so it's the only app with that name on my pc. This program is signed by Microsoft, so I am sure it's not a malware. So I have 2 questions: 1) What can this program do in my pc (procexp says it is in LISTENING mode) ? 2) How to disable it, or, at least, disable autostart?
