| 1484164 | 2022-02-05 03:40:00 | Any way to stop MS continually adding Documents & Pictures folders to Onedrive. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1484165 | 2022-02-05 04:02:00 | Disable it | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1484166 | 2022-02-05 04:14:00 | To Add top Garys Post -- Disable the folders you don't want added if you still want some backed up. Here's how -- In The Icon Try ( normally bottom Right) locate the one Drive cloud, right click it, Settings - Under the Accounts Tab, click choose folders, untick any folder you don't want backed up - Click OK. :) If you want to disable it completely -- Press Ctrl+Alt+ Del, select task manager - Startup Tab- (If the tabs are not there, bottom Left, click on "Show more" Then they will be.) Disable Microsoft One drive. OR As above from the One drive Icon -- open the settings, Settings Tab, untick the box " Start one drive Automatically when I sign into Windows" |

| 1484167 | 2022-02-05 06:46:00 | Ah, maybe I didn't explain the issue correctly. I actually use Onedrive to share files with other systems & devices. I don't use it at all for backup. But it keeps regenerating a documents folder every couple of days & a picture folder maybe once a month. I just delete them when they appear. My main folder on Onedrive is called Onedocs & everything goes into that. I have unselected Documents & Pictures from the Choose Folders, in settings. |

| 1484168 | 2022-02-07 20:08:00 | uninstall it. Reinstall it & be very carefull with what you sync , untick the defaults Also, look at whats stored in the cloud . Its just ree-creating whats in the cloud onto your PC. If there are folders you dont want regerneating all the time, delete those folders off the onedrive cloud store |

| 1484171 | 2022-02-08 07:44:00 | I have about 10gb of data in ondrive. Dropbox is only free up to 2gb. I've also tried Google drive, but prefer onedrive. |

| 1484172 | 2022-02-08 09:54:00 | Folders take up no significant amount of space, just ignore them. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1484173 | 2022-02-10 04:32:00 | Problem with that is they have the same name as other folders I use in other parts of the system. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
