Are you also familiar with that annoying message from OneDrive telling you to sign in? OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage, and with it, you can automatically upload your data to Microsoft's online storage – as an additional backup.
If you don't like that, and from a data protection perspective, it's rather questionable anyway, you can easily uninstall OneDrive. You can simply disable the software under "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel.
If no entry is found there – which is now often the case – you can also uninstall OneDrive manually.
To do this, simply open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, please enter the search term CMD in the search bar next to the Windows Start button. The Command Prompt should be found immediately. Now right-click on the icon and select the option "Run as administrator."
The command line will now open. There, please copy the following line, followed by the Enter key:
C:\Windows\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe -uninstall
That's all there is to it. Now OneDrive will leave you alone. At least until the next Windows 10 update, when OneDrive will be reinstalled or reactivated...
