How do I get rid of OneDrive / SkyDrive
- Short Answer – with difficulty. If you disable OneDrive, which is possible, Microsoft will continue to foist it upon you. Existential issues of autonomy aside, this isn’t such a bad thing.
- Instead, just don’t store anything in OneDrive, instead, store in My Computer
- You have two top-level storage locations:
- OneDrive (aka SkyDrive)
- My Computer aka(My PC / This PC / Computer)
- When you’re ready, experiment with storing items in OneDrive. You don’t keep your money under your bed, do you?
