How in the world can I kill One Drive. Was thinking I did it, but one drive keeps coming back. What I have done is found One Drive in my taskbar, told settings to go fly a kite. Then I when to Programs and Features and told it to uninstall it and it's gone. But reason why I ask is I have screen shots showing up on my desktop. I looked at the property box of one of them and sure enough it says it's in C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop. Is there an answer out there?

First... Disable

Next... Turn Off OneDrive backup...

Then...





This is the way I did it...
As soon as I first came to my Win 11 desktop,
I used REVO Uninstaller to uninstall OneDrive, and to "Scan" for leftovers, and removed them too.
OneDrive was too afraid to come back. ^^

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?

Every new build, that's what I do, before it can do any damage!
