    App called One Drive being a pia.


    Can someone tell me where to find the One Drive folder. It is and has been uploading a file endlessly and I think if I can delete it out of this folder I can stop it. I looked at C: drive and did not see any folders with that name. Help please.. thanks

    1. Make sure your Macrium Reflect (whether you use it or just have it installed) is up to date as old versions stop OneDrive updates and make OneDrive fill your %localappdata% with 300MB every single day because the service job locks OneDrive objects. You must either update it or uninstall it.

    Thankfully they fixed it but even so do check. If you ever used Macrium make sure it is up to date or you will have the same issue. Yesterday I deleted 8GB (4GB for me, 4GB for my partner) due to Macrium blocking OneDrive updates and OneDrive adding 300MB of new installation files every single day. For both of us.

    Anyway assuming that is OK :

    2. Reset OneDrive. Press + R then enter %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

    3. Start OneDrive again. Press + R then, enter %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe

    Thanks for the info. I checked my version of Macrium and it looks like I have a newer version than what they show on their site -- i.e. Me= 7.2.3957 Them = 7.2.3897. I don't think the way numbers are ordered has changed so it looks like 39 is newer than 38. I tried the reset link - to no avail. Rebooted - still there. Not sure what to do next. Thanks again.

    If you just want the quick path its: %userprofile%\OneDrive. So its basically in the root of your user folder.
