OneDrive is one of those things that are an amazing concept, but has awful execution. OneDrive is making my otherwise fast PC super slow because it's trying to synchronize god knows how many files all at once and trying to somehow do it with only 5 GB of space. It's a nightmare. Thanks for the video :)
I was breaking my head looking at how to restore my default folder's location. Your video was the solution. Thank you so much! I'm very grateful; now I have peace. Thanks again! ❤️️
So much googling and nothing providing the real answer. Thank you very much for this video! Easy to understand and actually did what I was looking for!
Hi. I'm a random guy that you never met, have no idea who I am, and have no idea about any of my friends or business associates. I run a server room for microsoft and I have access to all the files on those servers anytime I want. It's so nice of you to just put all your personal stuff including your documents and family photos in onedrive so I can look at them whenever I want. Oh, look, nice family you have there watching that brand new tv! And so many cute kids! Wow, look at all those priceless family heirlooms! Gee, thanks microsoft for making the decision to give everyone "free backups".
I only have settings, account and About tabs when i open the one drive settings. I do not have Back up, Network or office tabs please help and thank you
Very helpful. Thank you. I need to backup documents (written files) and a few databases and excel files only. All those pics and screen shots are not needed so this helps me know how to set that up. Thanks again.
I can't find how to stop the Blue recycle arrows in the status column (sync) in every folder and file on my new drive(OS). I installed a new SSD drive and Windows on my PC as my other Windows was a mess, I've now noticed that these Onedrive arrows are in all folders and files, It indicates sync pending but I have no Onedrive cloud icon on the taskbar as I think I disabled it when setting up the OS. So now even though Onedrive is in my Apps list I can't find how to get into it to stop this constant blue arrow sync pending thing.I also tried to uninstall Onedrive from programs and features but it won't allow me to uninstall it. Have I messed up this OS as well now? Microsoft keeps forcing these programs down our collective throats even though most of us don't want anything to do with them as with unwanted updates.
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. Died on the cross rose from the dead three days later so you can have eternal life. You just have to accept his gift of salvation and repent from your sins and surrender your life to him Jesus Christ for eternal life. God Bless Everybody and Everyone !
I am trying to block one drive because I think only a fool would store their work on someone else's computer. I view Microsoft practice as theft. Thanks for helping me learn to disable that function.
Thank you. I just got a new HP computer and onedrive took it over for some reason. I use OneNote to take notes and save them to OneDrive. I guess HP had it configure that way. I only have 5GB which should be enough for documents. Maybe I will upgrade at some point but, I don't need downloads, photos, video's or desktop.
this was extremally helpful because i have a 1gbs wifi mesh inside my house and i had my pc ported to my iphone but when the files tried to send they were forced to go through one drive and i was limited to 12 mbs instead of 1gbs but ever since it has been lightning fast thx
1st method actually helped me atlast, I've tried unticking the folders on backup menu, but it still backup, so I've left with last opt i.e unlink this pc :)
Glad it helped and thanks for sharing what worked for you. It is strange that unticking the backup still backed up. Are you sure you've applied the changes after unticking? Also, things that are already backed up, will remain in the OneDrive. It only stops new files from adding on.
Hello and thanks for the video. First thing - The cloud's on my computer isn't next to the folders 'Decktop, Documents and Pictures' like you showed in your video. Nor are these three files to find inside the Onedrive folder on the computer. Second thing - When I stop the backup, the files on my computer will be removed from my desktop, then put inside a cloud file on the desktop called "where is my files" Third thing - If I at this time delete anything from my Onedrive, it will also be deleted from my computer. What do I do here?
Hi. If the clouds are not next to your specified folders, then that "should" mean that they're not in the cloud and hence are not backed up. So, if they're not backed up, then if you stop the back up, these specify folders shouldn't be effected. When you stop the backup, things that are already uploaded to the cloud will be removed from your computer. Hence, if you delete anything from the cloud, they'll be completely deleted. At the same time, if you delete any thing from the cloud and you got the same file in the OneDrive folder in your computer, it'll also get deleted from your computer in order to match the cloud. I suggest you to watch 👉 How to change the location of OneDrive on Windows 10 - ruclips.net/video/s6mRfYu0_2U/видео.html
@@bhupindertube Thanks, I’ll try that. I actually think I managed to succed in what I was doing just before.. took a while to find out though :) So the files were backed up, I believe, because they were inside the drive, even though the cloud wasn’t next to these 3 folders you mentioned… But, what I did then was to click “stop backing up” and so… a new folder with an cloud ikon along with all the files that disappeared, was created in the desk top. Then I moved the files from that folder, directly on to the actual desktop. Think I got it right. And now I’m just thinking… I would like to choose which files that should go inside the drive again. But if I turn the backup on again, it will probably take the whole thing/all files agains. Isn’t there a setting where it will allow me to pick which ones goes inside the drive?
@@anderskruse Great! I suggest you to create folders inside the OneDrive folder on your Computer for the files you wanna backup. Then, you could easily create shortcuts of these folders in any part of your computer for easier access.
Thank you for this great tip to free up my OneDrive storage. Do you also know how I can delete pictures from my phone but keep them in OneDrive so I can free up my phone storage?
It seems an absolute pain this whole Onedrive. I wish I never accepted the invite to sync in the first place when i purchased my PC. Google photos will probably do what you are trying to do. I believe it keeps all photos on it but you can take them off your phone...
Welcome. Sorry for such a late reply. I suggest you to follow 👉 How To Turn Off Auto Upload Of Photos To OneDrive - ruclips.net/video/ofBLff4RhqA/видео.html . But instead of Turning it OFF, Turn it ON. Then, your photos would be automatically uploaded to OneDrive. Then, first check the photos/videos are available in the cloud, and then you could you delete them from your phone. Just don't delete them through OneDrive App on your phone otherwise you're deleting the cloud files!
point of addition, when u turn off OneDrive, all desktop created folders will disappear so what u need to do is first move all the things in desktop folder to document folder then unlink OneDrive uncheck backup then again move back your folders from document folder to desktop folder case closed, problem solved and all your desktop folders will be back as normal
I did the method before the sync was complete, I guess, because a couple of photos were not in the One Drive folder, neither in my PC. It sucks. I guess I will back up on a hard drive (the documents and desketop) and then use this method. This invasive design sucks, it's actually why I didn't like Google Drive and liked One Drive.
I agree, I think Microsoft is becoming more aggressive in pushing their products and services using Windows. The good news is that it still gives the option to change it!
I have a question, I play video games and it is annoying how I keep getting messages about my one drive being full. I uncheck all the things I don't want one drive backing up etc...but if I unlink it from my pc do I have to buy all my games and stuff on steam over again? I also have a 1TB external hard drive to keep my pc free of space. Can you show me how to make everything go to an external hard drive? I already got everything I download to go to it but when it comes to my games file and such would it save on to the pc? Can I make it save to my external hard drive instead of the pc if I unlink one drive from my game pc?
i have this exact question, documents is backing up to one drive and it says my storage is full, i don't want to unsync because i don't know if it removed my documents from file explorer and keeps them in one drive or if it stays on my pc
@@Natalie-fs7xy I don't know, i unlink mines and my game and files were fine. I don't know if it would be for you because I don't know what kind of stuff you have save on ya pc. But my files were still there but you should youtube it and find info before doing so.
@@fernandovarelasilva8099 i copied my entire document folder from file explorer and pasted it in a different area temporarily, if i remember correctly, i deleted the entire documents folder from one drive and deleted it from the recycling bin. the ones i copied beforehand, had a copy of ALL the files i. my documents so i moved it out of the temporary areas and moved it into this pc.
Thank you so much. I was finding myself using up the 5GB but as soon as i would make space it'll fill up with more junk that I didn't need thank you again bruv
i installed onedrive and clicked on backup by mistake. but i found it out in about one minute and went back to settings on onedrive and stopped backingup and deleted the folders. but of course it removed all the folders and files from my pc. using the recycle bin in onedrive brings back your folders but not the files. so all the files are gone! :(
After following this tutorial everything files have gone from my desktop which was in onedrive how can I get back that files to desktop. Anyone please help
I now have empty named folders on my laptop, they once had loads of pictures, I suspect they have moved to One Drive.....how do I retrieve them, and why did One Drive remove in the first place ??

Hi can you please help, i have one drive that is full so i did what you said and disconnected it from my pc but now i can not delete my files cos one drive is missing. How can i delete my files without one drive???
I have done this steps. Thank you for posting this. However, once the PC turn off, when it is turn back on, the setting automatically goes back to link again.
HI, I have actually deleted all the one drive related things and also from the user part and now I am not able to take screenshot it is not saving in the screenshot folder . What should I do , please reply.
I don't understand I wish to Not have them back up yet when I choose Documents to not be back up, yet they are gone from my PC when choosing to not backup. Plz help, free up space without being gone on main PC.
@@bhupindertube After uninstallation, my entire desktop is still in the OneDrive folder, even though it is not part of a cloud. It is still called OneDrive in the directory, and follows a different route than the empty desktop folder on my C prompt. At this point, it looks like it would require much more work and deleting/reinstallation of important info and programs in order to untangle this. Your video is good, btw, and I appreciate you responding so quickly. Keep up the good work!
WTF all my files are GONE after i followed ur instructions the stop backup one is stupid, i have to click start backup to get it all back again NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY, you are giving me heart attack
Sorry to hear that. You could still recover your files and folders after deleting. Microsoft will put the deleted files into an online recycle bin for 30 days.
@@bhupindertube apparently I deleted what's in the recycling as well. Without realizing it'll delete my things on computer. I used the program but these documents retrieved no long works or opens
I have an error when I tried to delete those folders document picture it shows ( you require permission from the DESKTOP-JM8RG4R/ How to make changes to this folder) kindly tell what i have to do now
After you have unchecked the backup. In order to delete folders, please try 👉 How to Force Delete a Folder That Cannot Be Deleted Windows 10 - ruclips.net/video/dcrCTMM_pvo/видео.html 👉 How to delete a folder could not find this item - ruclips.net/video/-6fg5GUft64/видео.html
Disconnect your internet from your PC so that your OneDrive won't sync the changes. Then, go to another device (another computer), login to your OneDrive online (eg browser) and try to find the deleted files. If you could find it there download them immediately, then go to the recycle bin folder on your online Onedrive (browser) and they should be there. Again, once you found them, download them and back up them. You could also check the recycle bin on your PC as well. All the best!
You mean the files in the desktop folder? Then, those files will be deleted from both your computer & the OneDrive. Just make sure to give sometime to OneDrive to synchronise this information with the cloud prior to unlinking it.
@@bhupindertube Thank you for responding and so quickly! So I was able to get the OneDrive back, and its showing the Desktop, DOcuments and Pictures. Now I think if i follow your steps in the video, i should be able to remove it. But I am on an Alienware Laptop, I dont know if that makes a difference or not.

I did the method before the sync was complete, I guess, because a couple of photos were not in the One Drive folder, neither in my PC. It sucks. I guess I will back up on a hard drive (the documents and desketop) and then use this method. This invasive design sucks, it's actually why I didn't like Google Drive and liked One Drive.
I agree, I think Microsoft is becoming more aggressive in pushing their products and services using Windows. The good news is that it still gives the option to change it!
I have a question, I play video games and it is annoying how I keep getting messages about my one drive being full. I uncheck all the things I don't want one drive backing up etc...but if I unlink it from my pc do I have to buy all my games and stuff on steam over again? I also have a 1TB external hard drive to keep my pc free of space. Can you show me how to make everything go to an external hard drive? I already got everything I download to go to it but when it comes to my games file and such would it save on to the pc? Can I make it save to my external hard drive instead of the pc if I unlink one drive from my game pc?
i have this exact question, documents is backing up to one drive and it says my storage is full, i don't want to unsync because i don't know if it removed my documents from file explorer and keeps them in one drive or if it stays on my pc
@@Natalie-fs7xy I don't know, i unlink mines and my game and files were fine. I don't know if it would be for you because I don't know what kind of stuff you have save on ya pc. But my files were still there but you should youtube it and find info before doing so.
@@fr3shoholic812 it's okay, i figured it all out it just took some extra work but i figured it out thank you tho❤️
@@Natalie-fs7xy No problem
@@fernandovarelasilva8099 i copied my entire document folder from file explorer and pasted it in a different area temporarily, if i remember correctly, i deleted the entire documents folder from one drive and deleted it from the recycling bin. the ones i copied beforehand, had a copy of ALL the files i. my documents so i moved it out of the temporary areas and moved it into this pc.
How can i fix this problem on MacBook?? It’s not working on my mac
Thank you so much. I was finding myself using up the 5GB but as soon as i would make space it'll fill up with more junk that I didn't need thank you again bruv
Glad I could help! Yes, OneDrive like to fill up the 5 GB and then keep saying you're running out of space so that you'd buy more space.
thank you so much this helped a lot.
You're welcome!
i installed onedrive and clicked on backup by mistake. but i found it out in about one minute and went back to settings on onedrive and stopped backingup and deleted the folders. but of course it removed all the folders and files from my pc. using the recycle bin in onedrive brings back your folders but not the files. so all the files are gone! :(
That is terrible. so sorry to hear. I think maybe microsoft force us to pay for extra storage by doing all of this.
If you've deleted from the PC, it could have gone to your Windows' recycle bin.
Brother problem is I don't have the icon in the taskbark it's saving my files and I want to unlink it as it's my school onedrive
Very informative thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
thanks good video one drive was slowing down my pc all the time

very helpful video thanks dear
Thanks for liking

Very useful
I really despise Onedrive - its like a weed
You're most welcome!
i dont have that "back up" window on my onedrive. What to do?
thanks man really appreciate it
Any time
Im confused.. 1:29 those "Stop back up" are not there for me.. lol
How we can save them outside one drive?... I mean can i save it to the "documents" folder underneath one drive?
Simply copy/cut and paste it outside of OneDrive. For example, paste it to D drive instead.
I now have empty named folders on my laptop, they once had loads of pictures, I suspect they have moved to One Drive.....how do I retrieve them, and why did One Drive remove in the first place
??
I suggest you to find & download your files from OneDrive to computer by following 👉 ruclips.net/video/KKOCKXEuQj0/видео.html . Please subscribe to support my channel. I help so many people but for some reason people don't subscribe! If you still have any questions, please let me know?
Onedrive backed up my desktop without my permission. Now if I unlink the pc from OneDrive i cant access my desktop images. How do I get them back?
From what you're saying it seems to me that your desktop images where physically in the cloud than on your PC. So, I suggest you to watch ruclips.net/video/y6VGFmhRa9E/видео.html . Please let me know if it helped!
thank you so much my dude
Glad I could help
can we back it up after that
I cant find that cloud on the lower right and doesnt apears by searching for it
Click on the "Start" and search for "OneDrive"!
...but my AUTOSAVED does not function anymore???
Hi can you please help, i have one drive that is full so i did what you said and disconnected it from my pc but now i can not delete my files cos one drive is missing. How can i delete my files without one drive???
Hi. Please read the pinned comment. You can access your OneDrive files by logging in to OneDrive from your Browser.
I have done this steps. Thank you for posting this. However, once the PC turn off, when it is turn back on, the setting automatically goes back to link again.
Wow, I never heard that before. Could it be that you didn't press on "Apply" and then "OK" and the settings were not saved in the first place?
Thank you so much 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
HI, I have actually deleted all the one drive related things and also from the user part and now I am not able to take screenshot it is not saving in the screenshot folder . What should I do , please reply.
Hi. I have a made a full video on how to take a screen shot. Please watch ruclips.net/video/pl3chzURomY/видео.html . Hopefully, it should fix it!
I don't understand I wish to Not have them back up yet when I choose Documents to not be back up, yet they are gone from my PC when choosing to not backup. Plz help, free up space without being gone on main PC.
thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Is there any way to stop the PC from extracting zipped files to a OneDrive folder, even though I've already uninstalled OneDrive? I hate this app.
What you mean by extracting to OneDrive if you've already uninstalled OneDrive or followed the above video? I don't have the same experience.
@@bhupindertube After uninstallation, my entire desktop is still in the OneDrive folder, even though it is not part of a cloud. It is still called OneDrive in the directory, and follows a different route than the empty desktop folder on my C prompt. At this point, it looks like it would require much more work and deleting/reinstallation of important info and programs in order to untangle this. Your video is good, btw, and I appreciate you responding so quickly. Keep up the good work!
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Thank you
You're welcome
WTF all my files are GONE after i followed ur instructions
the stop backup one is stupid, i have to click start backup to get it all back again
NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY, you are giving me heart attack
Doesn't look like that on windows 11
Was a pain to see onedrive slow down when it was full. restart and then disable that feature for now.
Yes, it can slow down your system.
Wish I watched this video. Stupid one drive synced automatically and I deleted it, it deleted all my stuff off my computer. Ffs
Sorry to hear that. You could still recover your files and folders after deleting. Microsoft will put the deleted files into an online recycle bin for 30 days.
@@bhupindertube apparently I deleted what's in the recycling as well. Without realizing it'll delete my things on computer. I used the program but these documents retrieved no long works or opens
I have an error when I tried to delete those folders document picture it shows ( you require permission from the DESKTOP-JM8RG4R/ How to make changes to this folder) kindly tell what i have to do now
After you have unchecked the backup. In order to delete folders, please try

I want to back up everything EXCEPT one folder that requires hippa security, How to do that?
Then, I suggest you to copy and paste the hippa security folder to another folder outside the folders that are syncing in OneDrive.
Thank U soo much

Hi in the final part of the video i have deleted the files without taking backup how do i restore my desktop files ?😫😫😫😫😫
Disconnect your internet from your PC so that your OneDrive won't sync the changes. Then, go to another device (another computer), login to your OneDrive online (eg browser) and try to find the deleted files. If you could find it there download them immediately, then go to the recycle bin folder on your online Onedrive (browser) and they should be there. Again, once you found them, download them and back up them. You could also check the recycle bin on your PC as well. All the best!
what happens if you delete the desktop from one drive before unlinking the PC?
You mean the files in the desktop folder? Then, those files will be deleted from both your computer & the OneDrive. Just make sure to give sometime to OneDrive to synchronise this information with the cloud prior to unlinking it.
@@bhupindertube Thank you for responding and so quickly! So I was able to get the OneDrive back, and its showing the Desktop, DOcuments and Pictures. Now I think if i follow your steps in the video, i should be able to remove it. But I am on an Alienware Laptop, I dont know if that makes a difference or not.
@@allisonwalker2128 You're welcome. It doesn't matter which laptop or PC you're using.

thanks for this video. On my screen is ' Activate Windows, go to setting to activate windows' what can I do? Many thanks
It seems the way you installed Windows 10, it requires valid keys to activate it. Or you could try to reinstall your windows by following
