Seeking a second opinion... Is OneDrive malicious malpractice ?


I honestly believe you're wasting your time. You gave this person a way to remove onedrive and they ignored it. I don't know why they are asking for help if they're not going to take the help given.
You made a faulty assumption. Actually I did accept their advice on removing it. He posted a long list of options in another thread and the very first one was to do a local account installation. So that's what I did. The point of this thread is not to seek a way to remove OneDrive.

The point of this thread is exactly what it claims to be : to solicit opinions on the design of OneDrive. In my opinion it's a reckless design and in the other thread (that was linked from this thread) I elaborated on why that might be the case. If you're interested, you would have to go to that thread and scroll down to read about it.
