Hello,

Since the famous "free upgrade to Windows 10," a certain OneDrive is messing up my computer and deleting all my installed programs and downloaded files, whether they are videos, images, software, etc. I've tried to uninstall OneDrive using the registry editor method... But when I restart my computer, everything has been erased! What should I do, please help me!!

config>Windows / Chrome 60.0.3112.113</config>

    Hi,

    Everything has been erased from your hard drive because your folders are synced to OneDrive.
    If you remove OneDrive, there will be no more syncing.
    Everything is online.

    Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

    Good evening,
    Well, install your software outside of OneDrive :p

      I’m willing to help, but how can I uninstall this damn thing??? I tried to uninstall it manually with the famous folder (registry editor/admins > windows > policies Create a onedrive folder and then enter the Dword 32-bit key to 1, etc...) But the problem is still the same! Every time I restart my computer, everything disappears!

        To disable OneDrive, there was a simpler way! You can do it through the task manager, startup tab, you search for "Microsoft OneDrive" and click disable, then restart your computer and OneDrive is off. Personally, that's what I did!
        But if that’s not enough, check the link that Malekal_morte sent you, they explain everything from A to Z.

        As Malekal_morte said, all your files are on OneDrive, if you disable OneDrive you won't find your files.
        So first disable OneDrive if you haven't already (but I think you have... xD), restart your PC, then create a test file, restart your PC again and see if the file is still there! If you disable it correctly, there is no reason for the file to be created on OneDrive (or maybe yes, but it won't sync to a server, so it will stay on your PC)
        In the worst case, turn off Wi-Fi or Ethernet, that way you're sure it saves on your PC :p

        I hope this helps you! :)

      Good evening, thank you for your help but it's not coming from OneDrive... I managed to uninstall it completely but when I restart my PC it's still there! I think it must be a computer problem that starts in system recovery mode
      since that f***** free upgrade to Windows 10... I think reinstalling an older version of Windows would be much better!! Thank you anyway.
