How to Disable OneDrive on Windows 10
To turn off OneDrive, you must disconnect your Microsoft account from the service, which will disable OneDrive in Windows 10 and save your PC from constant updates and data syncing from the cloud to your local hard drive or SSD.
Select the OneDrive icon in your taskbar, then select Help & Settings. Select Settings. Select the Account tab. Select Unlink this PC under your account name. Select Unlink account.
That’s it! Your Microsoft account will be unlinked from your PC. Any files synced to your OneDrive folder locally will still be there.
How to Uninstall OneDrive on Windows 10
After unlinking your account, you might want to remove OneDrive entirely, thereby saving you from seeing the occasional notification stating you need to update the OneDrive app to continue using it.
Go to the Add/Remove Programs system setting. An easy way to get there is to type programs in the Windows search bar. Enter one in the Apps & Features search box. Select Microsoft OneDrive. Select Uninstall. On the next screen, confirm you want to uninstall OneDrive and the program will be removed from your PC.
