    One Drive needs to drive somewhere else


    I know there is a purpose and some will say it is a good utility...but, I hate when a computer does things because Microsoft thought it was a good idea to override our wishes and do stuff. I hate one drive. I hate having pictures and thing put on the cloud. I have enough hard drive space that I want to keep it all under my own wing.
    Enough of the small talk. How did I get rid of "ONE DRIVE". I don't want it covered up. I don't want it idling in my tray. I want the booger GONE. gpedit.msc did not work...Please help
