I don't even know how to go about reinstalling it since I've made such a mess. Maybe I need to undo everything I did? Maybe reinstalling OneDrive will correct whatever is wrong, but I'm worried that reinstalling might make things worse.

I also edited the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ from value 1 to value 0. %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall In command prompt as administrator I typed: I followed some online instructions to uninstall OneDrive and also to remove the OneDrive folder from my User folder: I kept trying different things to get rid of every OneDrive folder clutter that I could see in Windows Explorer. Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\OneDriveĭouble-clicked the “Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage” policy setting in the right pane, set it to “Enabled,” and clicked “OK.”

I think the first thing I did was to open the Group Policy Editor. In case you need to know the things I did to get rid of the original OneDrive folder, I’ll list them below (but I’m not sure I’ve got the sequence in order): Use command “Del c:\users\username\desktop\foldername” and press Enterģ) Use command “Del C:\Users\Username\OneDrive” and press Enter.I found several suggestions for deleting it in another post:ġ Right click this folder, click “Properties”, check the Attributes, remove the “Read-only” option and click “OK” –Ģ Drag this folder to recycle Bin instead of using delete buttonģ Login with Safe Mode and delete it for testĤ Open Windows Explorer, click desktop on the left pane, and delete the folder I managed to delete the real OneDrive folder, but now I have its ghost folder. I have never used OneDrive and don’t plan to ever upload any files to the cloud, so I found several methods online to disable it, then tried to uninstall it.
