    Hi all I am having a Torrid time of it, see other thread under "Upgrade and Install" -- Dasha)
    Version1909 - 10.0.18363
    One Drive is back and syncing all my Word Docs during SAVE or SAVE AS I Just did a Windows update and now ONE DRIVE has hijacked my Computer again every time I try to Save or Save As a Word Doc the window pops up and I cannot save the Doc anywhere except in One Drive? There is also a One Drive Icon with my GMail address attached In > Word Doc > Files > Save I Deleted One Drive some months ago but now I cannot even find OneDrive in Programs Lists?
    I have noticed that in O (C) the Program Apps Folder is missing I have Programs and Programs x 86 folders But the Program Apps Folder is missing there have always been 3 'Program Folders ?

    Thanks, Paul, unfortunately, the MS One Drive App is hidden somewhere, It is not in that List Mate, and not accessible from anywhere else, that's why I thought it may be in that missing Programs Apps Folder in OC (C) Thanks for the Input Paul I appreciate it Dasha

    Stop listening to the FUD mongers; there's NOTHING wrong with having OneDrive installed on your PC. And it's like like the app itself uses a lot of storage. Or uses a ton of resources. The people pushing this noise are simply regurgitating misinformation posted around the net. That said, here are some options...

    If you don't want to use OneDrive simply disable it...


    You can unlink OneDrive from your Microsoft account...


    Don't want Office files syncing with OneDrive...


    Finally - truly just want to completely remove the app...

    I simply stop it starting with Windows and it doesn't bother again. Always handy to have if I change my mind though. Check hidden icons in notification area and if its icon is there right click - settings and untick the box -

    Goodmorning thanks for the help" my problem is that I cannot locate the One Drive App on my PC to do any of what you have suggested? So I will leave it as is' for now, and see what happens after a Clean Install of Win 10 Thank's again for your help Dasha
    --------------
    I have hunted down the OneDrive issue it's under a Microsoft Word Icon in the Side Panel, all the Files I have been searching for that I had saved to Documents Are inside a Folder in the Word Open Page Very Frustrating they are also under Letters or vCode ?? Here are some screen clips (2) that may help us? the reason I dislike OneDrive so much was that it kept threatening to delete my stuff in OneDrive unless I bought more space I don't have enough use or money to buy more space?? Cheers Dasha

    I'm closing this thread because of no response? I guess I was posting in the wrong forum Sorry if I did that
