Okay, so I clicked on the OneDrive in the start menu & this came up.

So I need to “Set up OneDrive” at this point?

I imagine, set it up then you will have to option to unlink it, then disable startup then uninstall.Comment

Okay, I’ll try that!Comment

So I went through the “set up” for OneDrive my I didn’t see anywhere that I could download OneDrive.
I even tried using a different email address and after doing this & that I got to a page that they wanted me to pay for OneDrive!!!
I don’t see any change in OneDrive when I open it up!
The only thing that is different is that I now have the OneDrive icon in my start menu. When I click on that icon this is what pops up

Do you have Office365 installed?
Did you download OneDrive from Microsoft directly?
To clarify, when you went to uninstall OneDrive, did you select Apps and Features after right clicking on the Windows Icon?Comment

[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]I don’t remember how I got OneDrive. It has been too long ago.

[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]When I was uninstalling OneDrive I went to “Control Panel” & clicked on “Programs & Features” . There I found OneDrive & I uninstalled it. I did not go to Apps & Features at that time. I did look there now & I don’t see OneDrive at all.
After I uninstalled OneDrive I went into the start menu and removed OneDrive from the list. At that point I connected my cell phone and OneDrive still popped up–it was still working.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]Comment

I have read so many things in the last week, at this point I think that I did read it. But I am reading it again.Originally posted by PeterOz
This is “Unlink OneDrive” Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive - Microsoft Support
Windows
[ol]
[li]Open OneDrive settings (select the OneDrive cloud icon in your notification area, and then select the OneDrive Help and Settings icon then Settings.)[/li][/ol]
[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]I cannot get into “Setting” with the directions above. However, if I click on the three dots that are to the right of my icon (my pix) then I can click on “Settings” from the list. The choices are—Refresh–Slideshow–Send feedback–Settings
2. Go to the Account tab.
When I look through the “Settings” list, I do not see “Account” Therefore I can’t select “Unlink this PC” . It is not there!
3. Select Unlink this PC.

[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]I also read the “Hide or uninstall OneDrive”
[HEADING=1]Hide or uninstall OneDrive[/HEADING]
On some versions of Windows, you can also hide or uninstall OneDrive. You can also uninstall the OneDrive mobile app from Android and iOS devices.

You won’t lose files or data by uninstalling OneDrive from your computer. You can always access your files by signing in to OneDrive.com.

[COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]I followed the directions above but I don’t see OneDrive any where.[/li][/ol]
I really appreciate every ones help. I realize that it is difficult to try to explain what is going on without being here looking at the PC. I just hope that I can make OneDrive go away![/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]Comment

When you asked “Did you download OneDrive from Microsoft directly?” did you mean when I originally installed OneDrive or did you mean recently?Originally posted by Pyro
If you meant recently, no I actually did not download OneDrive from Microsoft directly. See post #15Comment

It might be worth trying the online installer if this doesn’t work.
I believe Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Onedrive, etc) could have something to do with this.
Open Apps and Features, type 365 into the search bar, select Microsoft 365, Modify, and then Online Repair.
You could try deleting this, but if it doesn’t repair anything I have my doubts that will be a solution/Comment

You have the office suite without Office 365?
The OneDrive link in post #21 is an online installer, I would try downloading OneDrive and uninstalling it through the Apps and Features menu to see if that helps the computer understand that you have deleted it.Comment

Well, as I figured, when I downloaded OneDrive using the post #21 I got this:

I’m running out of information other than messing with the registry (not a good practice).
Any other ideas? @PeterOz @BastetComment
