Question

OneDrive

by Jan 11, 2019 9:03AM PST

I'm trying to not use onedrive. I tried deleting files in onedrive and found out that also deletes the files on my pc which I now understand is normal. I then found info on the web about unsyncing onedrive from my pc. I did this but now the onedrive is not available to view. I'm thinking that all my files are still out on onedrive. How do I access it and delete the files from onedrive? Thanks.

No offense taken. That was pretty easy. I deleted one folder and then checked my PC and that particular folded was still there. One more thing. I do have another PC at another location. If that PC is still synced to onedrive I'm guessing that the folder I just deleted will also be deleted on that other PC. Correct? Thanks again for all your help,

That's the idea.

Delete the files on OneDrive via the web and the sync will either put the files up on the web or delete them depending on settings so I can't really tell you the result. You'll know soon enough.
