Title: One drive
Post by: Peter on February 21, 2021, 11:05:53 AM

Good morning all,

Hope you all are well and Covid free.

Can anyone advise me how to remove all my photos from Onedrive, mt allottment is full and they nag me to add more storage, I can copy, share or delete individual photos but can't find a way to remove them completely onto my PC for storage.

Also, if I uninstall Onedrive is there and detrimental affect?

Regards,

Peter

Just simply drag and drop them to wherever you want to put them.

It should move them rather than copy them.

Rather than go to the trouble of completely uninstalling Onedrive which is likely well imbedded as MS are inclined to do, I just disable auto-starting in the Startup section of Task Manager, you can then start up manually if so required and shut down again after use.

Apologies if I'am stating the obvious, right click and drag, you then get the option to copy or move.
