    OneDrive, multiple spontaneous copies of files, thousands spontaneously need admin...


    Hi,I have had multpile problems on one of my computers with OneDrive.Thousands and thousands of files have spontaneously copied themselves, not just once, but multiple times.23,000 files cannot sync because they have spontaneously needed Admin permission.If I delete copies, they often spontaneously reappear.I have reset, unlinked, unistalled, reinstalled OneDrive several times and the problem is no better, in fact it has become worse.Is there a solution to this please?

    :)

    Some jpg image files spontaneously copy

    My laptop contains many jpg images and copies of about 300 of them keep appearing, spontaneously. These copies have the same name as the originals with the suffix (1) attached. It is the same files that keep copying. I keep deleting the copies but the next day they are back again. The properties of the originals are no different from other jpg files that don't copy, so I can't determine why this keeps happening. The files are spread through a number of sub-folders so they are not grouped together. I have the latest version of W10. Any help would be appreciated.
