How do I permanently remove One Drive?

Since the latest upgrade to Win10..called the Creators something or other, every time I turn on the PC, I get a pop up asking me to sign in to a thing called 'One Drive'. Not interested in the Cloud..no matter who owns it or if it's free or if they pay me to use it. Not interested. I changed settings to not automatically start when I boot up, but I still get the pop up thingy.

How do I get rid of it? Permanently. And if you know how to delete Cortana, I'd appreciate that information, too.

TIA :)

AFAIK, OneDrive cannot be removed since OneDrive is built in to Windows 10, so it can't be uninstalled.
Mentioning removed makes me think you’d like to uninstall it.

Turn off or uninstall OneDrive
Turn off or uninstall OneDrive - Office Support
However, this article is confusing because it starts with instruction to
Uninstall OneDrive in Windows 10
But further down in the Hide OneDrive in Windows 10 section, it states
OneDrive is built in to Windows 10, so it can't be uninstalled
That’s confusing to me but you can check it out.

What I typically do for those who don't want OneDrive, I disable it in Startup.
Then I unhide the data Libraries per
How to stop Windows 10 from saving files to OneDrive | PCWorld
and have the data saved in there.

There are lots of good tutorials on TenForums that cover items like this:

Enable or Disable OneDrive Integration

Enable or Disable Cortana in Windows 10

Hope these help!

OneDrive is actually quite useful if you want to share information between PCs and you can post links to large files (e.g. photos/videos) to your friends & family which are too large to send by email. I don't save any sensitive data on OneDrive

Thanks for the help and suggestions! I don't see that sucker any more!
