Hi, your answers seems to cover all of shareponit, including OneDrive4B. Questions was if I can disable the personal OneDrive4B without other company SharePoint resources.

As each Onedrive is technically a site collection where the the given user gets access rights through the site collection admin role, you can simply remove the user from the site collection admin role through the SP admin center or the Set-SPOUser PS cmdlet.

Ok, not the solution I was hoping for.

So if each user has its own site collection for OneDrive, does that also mean that we can remote the ability for a specific user to not be able to share anonymous links, while other specific users can. I assume I would disable for the site collection "<domain>-my.sharepoint.com" and then enable via PS for individual users?

  Be aware that every user is (and must be) the site collection admin of his/her ODFB site collection.
  Hence, whatever you configure in ODFB can be later reconfigured by the user and you can't forbid it.
