Only certain files, photographs, Windows settings, and some files may be synced to OneDrive. The operating system cannot be backed up with it. In addition, the free storage space is restricted. To summarize, OneDrive isn’t required on your computer in any way.

Online backup is available through Microsoft’s cloud storage, OneDrive. It may back up your documents online. You can sync files to the cloud on your Windows 10 computer and to other Windows PCs, Android (with the OneDrive app for Android, iOS, or iPadOS installed), and Macs using this program (with the OneDrive Mac app).

If you uninstall OneDrive, the program won’t start again automatically. Any files or data you have in OneDrive will continue to be accessible when you sign in at OneDrive.com, however, your OneDrive folder will no longer synchronize with the cloud.

When you log in to OneDrive, it will not load when your computer restarts. With file syncing and automatic start-up disabled, OneDrive is effectively disabled, but you may go even further by unlinking your account.

In the Taskbar, right-click it and select Task Manager from the drop-down menu. Navigate to the Startup section of Task Manager. Select Microsoft OneDrive and hit Disable. It’s been disabled using your Startup method!
