If you’re feeling like you’ve outgrown OneDrive, or just want to get rid of it altogether, deleting your account is easy. Here’s how:

  1. Open the OneDrive app on your computer.
  2. Click the three lines in the top left corner of the window.
  3. Select “Accounts.”
  4. Click the account you want to delete.
  5. On the “Delete Account” page, click “Yes, delete this account.” ..

Select the Start button, and then select Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts . Under Accounts used by email, calendar, and contacts, select the account you want to remove, and then select Manage. Select Delete account from this device. Select Delete to confirm.

You won’t lose any files or data by removing One Drive from your computer. You can always access your documents by signing in to One Drive.com. Open the Start menu and type Programs into the search field. Select Add or Remove Programs from the list of results.

You’re regaining control of your own files rather than storing them on a Microsoft-based server by turning off One Drive. This will have a more significant impact on low-resource PCs, so removing One Drive might be a good method to reclaim some CPU and RAM usage.

You can sync only a few items on One Drive, including photos, settings for Windows and Office, and certain files. You can’t use it to back up the operating system, either. Furthermore, there is a limit to the free storage space. In other words, One Drive isn’t necessary on your computer in any way.

One Drive, Microsoft’s cloud storage, can store copies of your documents on the web. Sync files to your Windows 10 PC through the One Drive app for Android, iOS, or iPad OS and even to your Mac (via the One Drive Mac app).
