Windows 10: I have an old university oneDrive that I cannot delete

Some of them have no size on disk im guessing becasue they were online only at the time. But I cant delete the one drive no matter what I do. I get the Could not connect to cloud provider error. I dont have access to the account to resync.I've tried taking ownership, I've tried powershell rm-ingWindows 10

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.

 

OneDrive & Old MS Account

Emily,

1. OneDrive prompting for an old organization email - this can me that it is somewhere in the registry. But I would suggest that you check the following first:

• I checked the Windows Credential Manager and did not find any reference to the old organization account.
  
• I checked the Registry Editor and did not find any reference to the email for the old org account.
  

2. Two personal OneDrive folder in File Explorer - have you ever set up OneDrive under two different Microsoft account (personal ones)? No

Or have you ever set up OneDrive to two different locations under the same Microsoft account? Not sure. I set up OneDrive 1st on the desktop with a location on that computer and then I setup OneDrive on the laptop and used the location suggested by OneDrive. Maybe that is the problem with parallel structure because I am not sure how to access OneDrive on the laptop or do I have to access those files/folders online from the laptop and not set up OneDrive on the laptop?

I still do not know why everything is under Desktop.

I am interested in knowing the following:

Right click on each OneDrive folder in File explorer, choose "copy as path", then paste the path in a reply to me. Do that for both folders. Thanks!

• They are both the same - "C:\Users\Myname\OneDrive"
  

Thank you.

 

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
