Windows 10 PC with only a local account downloading One Drive Files
I was preparing an old desktop for sale so I did a clean reinstall of Windows 10. I removed my online Microsoft account and created a local "Newuser" account with its own PIN. When you look at settings/accounts it shows no accounts. Wiped the drive for security reasons.
Today I booted it to make sure everything is ok prior to sale. I noticed that there were now files in my documents and pictures from a laptop I gave to my daughter last week. Also there were files from a Civilization 2 game. Somehow it appears that One Drive is still sharing files between these PC's even though all accounts were removed from the old desktop? What a security nightmare! We just uninstalled One Drive from both of these computers and deleted all the files. Does anyone know how this can happen and if the old PC is still a security risk? Could the new owner reinstall One Drive and suddenly have access to her files?
Thanks
