I'm afraid to just delete them for fear it will mess up something else. I'm so sick of Microsoft!

A longstanding problem with OneDrive is that turning it off automatically deletes all the local copies of files. This wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that your desktop shortcuts get synced to OneDrive for some reason. Even if you restore the shortcuts, you've still lost all the work you've put into organizing them. Some people have hundreds of shortcuts all meticulously placed in the right spots on their desktop

I didn't even know OneDrive was doing this until I deleted something and got a prompt asking if I wanted it deleted from Onedrive as well? Very suspect. Why not give people a choice? Microsoft is literally removing choice. But I'm supposed to believe there's no insidious motivation behind this. Don't think so Microsoft. Eff that.

Sadly you can only do that when you have disabled it from going to sync any of your files from Settings>Account option. I did it and then unlinked my account. Boom onedrive is gone. Also make sure that you disable any onedrive popups from windows registry editor and uninstall this app by going to installed apps from windows settings. You are done with this. Note that you need to cut the synced files in onedrive to different location than where onedrive does its syncing. Delete all files from onedrive then do the account and unlink thing. Your job is completely done.

Primary issue with onedrive for me was the lack of storage space. I love modding games as it makes it way more interesting to play them, the problematic thing is that since everything I downloaded automatically went to onedrive's cloud it filled up the storage space massively. 5gb just isn't at all enough and spending money on onedrive didn't seem worth, so I moved everything over to mega's cloud service, which gives 20gb of storage space free. Onedrive can go die for all I care
