How Do I Delete Files From OneDrive, but Not My Computer?

[@nostur4984]

Would it have been too much to simply add a button that says "Unsync"? How the hell did they mess something like this up? How couldn't they think that people would want to remove things from OneDrive only? It's such a simple yet fundamentally major design flaw that I can't wrap my head around it.

[@gloriapinskerportraits4801]

I think they just want you to fill up One Drive quickly so you will buy extra space. I think this is a really invasive and over-controlling app! I'm glad to have found this video!

[@joeh858]

Malicious intent.

[@ayushigupta2465]

Exactly!!

[@emerislinmer]

@@gloriapinskerportraits4801 Exactly, I just upgraded to Windows 11 and I can no longer move my files to an external drive, so I am forced to either cave in and buy more space or spend hours looking at videos and information as to how to now move my files. It's actually making me think about learning how to use Linux and getting rid of Windows completely. Not only was the upgrade a downgrade to many applications, it somehow exposed my credit card information to Bangledeshi scammers and I'm not exactly sure how, but immediately after I upgraded, I had a pending charge to my account that said it was from Microsoft, and concurrently an email from a Bangleshi scam company that said thank your for updating your Norton antivirus, we will be charging your credit card $360. I'm overseas and it is the only credit card that I have and I had to cancel it. Thanks Microsoft. Plus, I think Bill Gates is a criminal who should be on death row.

Hey man… THANK YOU. The fix was a little simpler than I thought. I have tried in the past to do this, and had trouble. I did it again today, and no trouble. I hate OneDrive !!

Hi Leo, I have another problem with OneDrive. Today, I just mistakenly clicked YES to back up my Documents folder in my PC to my OneDrive, which I thought the system would allow me to choose which file, but it happened to be all the files in my Documents folder. The problem is, once I did that, there is no turning back, which I tried many times to unsync OneDrive, unlink it as well as to stop back up the folder. What happened was, all my files in the Document folder on my PC disappeared too. It seems that OneDrive has removed all my files from the PC to the OneDrive folder and never allows me to bring them back to my PC. I hope you could do a video or may be explain here on how to solve this problem.

[@timpearlman4733]

Pretty sure its gone. I set up OneDrive as an alternative to some back ups I was making before a drive format, and now there's a file structure with random files missing.

You can press right on click files and click 'Always keep on this device'. Therefore it's actually stored. Now I still don't know how I can keep OneDrive and have it not touch certain files, because some games store stuff in the Documents folder and I don't want to move it as the game is actually refering to these files. And there's no need to have this on my OneDrive folder online. PLEASE ONEDRIVE JUST WORK LIKE DROPBOX. 1) Get the hell out of documents. 2) Don't delete stuff unless I ask bro. 3). Don't sync stuff I don't want you to sync. We can only dream.

Just now I looked to see how to stop the synch with onedrive, and after I mistakenly somehow moved the desktop files to the cloud, it tells me if I unsynch, the files won't go back to their desktop home but will disappear entirely.

To fix this, I finally created a new documents-like folder **outside of the existing Documents structure** and moved my files there. OneDrive had taken over my Documents folder, backed up everything it could and then told me my cloud space was full (yes, I'm a packrat) and I could only continue if I purchased more space.

[@Emilynnial]

Unless you see a slash and not the > symbol, then you're looking at an abbreviated filepath. What you should do to double check the full filepath is to click on "Local Disk (C:)" or whatever drive you're in, select the "Users" folder, select the User logged into the computer and then check both the Documents folder and OneDrive folder which both inhabit that particular user's folder. Within the OneDrive folder is also a "Documents" folder but it is NOT the same location as the Documents folder that was located up one generation in the specific user's folder. Copy the "Documents" folder located in the OneDrive folder, navigate up one tier into the user's folder and paste into THAT folder. On that tier, since there is a Documents folder, once you paste the copied folder into the user's folder, it will overwrite that stand-alone Documents folder and your stuff will now exist in a location outside of the OneDrive folder.

Whereas most users would like to have everything saved and routed to the default locations on the PC. One Drive is a nightmare and is a disgusting irritating bug rooted deep into windows and I hate it. I hate that windows is like this. I never asked or gave explicate permission to OneDrive to re route my destination paths for everything.

I bought a new computer and was moving files and folders over from an external hard drive. I kept getting annoying pop-ups telling me I'm filling up One Drive, until the final one that said it's 101% full and I can no longer sync or save data. That freaked me out but now I see it's nothing to do with my latop, just the OneDrive. I never asked to use One Drive, heck I didn't even know what it was. I found I could stop using it but when I clicked on it, it gave me a warning that made me wonder if what's stored there will be deleted. It would be nice if they actually asked us first if we wanted it and what we actually want to put in the cloud, Thank you for your video. I've been searching for days trying to find out what's what and your video explains the whole process very well. I still have a qburning uestion though. Mine says I have 239 sync issues. After watching your video, I clicked to see what was in it and there are so many folders affected with maybe one file each with a X on them. From my point of view, it would be a monumental task to get those files back one by one. Unless you have a better option, although I dread doing it, I can stop the association like you direced, (I do not want anything to do with OneDrive) and then move all 700 gigs of data over to the new laptop again. This, along with many admin issues and my computer forcing me to sign up with MS before I could even download the Chrome browser had me ready to pack it up and return it. I've never had such a hard time settng up a new computer and I've been using them since 1998.
