    Help with deleting an old Onedrive


    Hi, I am having huge problems with an old NHS drive on my own laptop conflicting with my personal Onedrive, and losing data as a result. I have left the NHS and it isn't an option to ask them to remove it as I no longer have any NHS accounts. I have tried every method I can think of to remove it, but the way they set it up was that only they, as admin, could remove it. So, I'm worried even if I did a complete factory reset, that it still wouldn't shift! Also, putting everything on a USB stick then putting it back would probably create the same issue I am really short on time and really do

  2. Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

  3. Photos deleted from gallery, deleted on Onedrive

    Hi Lrs1436,



    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



    It sounds like your photos deleted from gallery have also been deleted on Onedrive.

    First I suggest you try to check maybe the Deleted Galary on your phone to see if it's possible to get deleted photos back. Then you may try to visit the OneDrive website to see if the photos you synced are there. If not, you may follow the steps listed on this link | Find lost or missing files in OneDrive (microsoft.com) to see if they could be found back.



    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,
