[@thekingofthat]

all my homies hate onedrive

[@xCrypto_DOGGx]

Dude I thought it was gunna make things easier nope, not at all I tried syncing all my c drive and it almost deleted everything, then deleted everything from my main d drive, fuck one drive

[@racehallabrin8550]

All of my shit gets saved there by default it fucking pisses me off

[@1.1kSubChallengeWithoutAnyVid]

Can't even get mail on outlook cuz my one drive is full tf. Give at least 15 gigs like gdrive.

[@zilvoxidgod]

OneDrive might be the thing that pushes me to pick up a mac or linux. It's absolutely disgusting that I moved very single file out of one drive, deleted one drive, and it still removed every local file.

[@jasonratliff7214]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

Thank you so much for this! I tried to do this in a way that I thought made sense, but my Recycle Bin wound up with over 6,000 files in it (the ones I had wanted to remove only from my OneDrive). I managed to restore everything, and it is now available on my OneDrive and This PC, but they are also still in my Recycle Bin and I'm not 100% certain as to why. Your video has been invaluable to me, so again, thank you!

[@server2206]

i did the same but i emptied the recycle bin and the files i wanted are still on my pc

[@RussRunning]

How do you stop onedrive from "seeing" the copied file and just syncing it back up to the cloud again ?

[@00Mass00]

use C:\users\username\Documents to copy your files to, that folder is never synced by Onedrive. by default Onedrive syncs the 'quick' Documents which was a poor example in the video.

[@keely3564]

Im pretty sure you just go to your onedrive in file explorer and select the icon in the top right-hand corner -> press the gear in that panel -> and then click "manage backup" and deselect everything it helps

[@oso7458]

⁠yes thats right thank you

[@yavamaystudio8045]

Marvelous 😊 it working 👍👍👍

[@Countryball_87]

Thanks you. it really helped me out :D

[@lbreaker9234]

Ty soooooo much

[@kannan6949]

thank you soo much

[@vixikie]

Does it not just make you have a duplicate of everything on you copy everything on OneDrive to another place?

[@paulagriffiths2337]

I did not need to place the file in my PC as it was already there. One drive synched and removed that one file. Does anyone have a solution? (Except I deleted all my OneDrive files and then all my PC files were removed. I had a back up but need to stop this whole thing. I do not need OneDrive.)

[@Conkers1997]

i am literally having the same problem right now😶

[@mica0001]

i have the same problem

[@keely3564]

I have the same issue and it's driving me mad

[@laurelschenkoske706]

Hate OneDrive. Never asked for it. Now my Outlook mailbox is full & I can't even send an email (¬_¬)

[@alirefay9844]

Thank you so muchhhh 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@justintowers8230]

i deleted lots of things one drive has reached capacity. delete it from one drive then deletes all original files. wtf!! they can eff off user friendly my ass

[@blaxplays8215]

IF the files are backed up to cloud shouldn't I be able to delete it from my system

[@reinaldomartinez13]

This took forever, onedrive automatically synced my quick access files and it's not inuitive at all on how to delete them from the one drive without deleting them locally

[@dumbfukx]

i tried this and it takes forever to copy.... its copying on 1,20kbs....

[@madisonroy9824]

this does not work for me

[@paulagriffiths2337]

I deleted all my documents on OneDrive and it spitefully deleted all my documents and photos on my C drive C:\users\username\Documents. I had a back up but yoiks

[@crunchyfetuses]

i cant believe it is that simple 💀💀

[@paulagriffiths2337]

It is not. I just lost all my files including photos. One drive deletes the file that is saved under C:\users\username\Documents

[@server2206]

omg it worked

[@LUSHCAPTURES]

This does work.....

[@moeanos06]

How do I do the opposite

[@bijusivaraman5664]
