I want this off my computer. I have spent 2 days dealing with this.

 

I have tried to remove but my sys does not show OneDrive so I can't uninstall, remove, turn off, or unsync. I'm trying to save a document to my sys and it won't let me. Keeps wanting to send it to OneDrive and can't because it is full. I do all my backups to Google. I also have no cloud showing in my toolbar or hidden. I am concerned because all my file extensions show Onedrive in them. As to where they are saving to. I have mass files and I'm stuck.

 

Any help or ideas?

Have you attempted any of the fixes to block / remove One Drive mentioned in the link below?

OH, can't. The cloud does not show in my notification or as being hidden. In my apps so can't even uninstall.

You can reinstall OneDrive open Command Prompt and execute below command.

For 32-bit Windows 10 execute:
 

%systemroot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe

For 64-bit Windows 10 execute:

%systemroot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe

Thus, you may now uninstall and reinstall OneDrive on your computer

Hi:

Alas, whatever DIY you did to "try to remove" OneDrive before posting here likely left the app in a broken/corrupted state.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can't see"?
The missing system tray icon - by itself - ought not to prevent you from undertaking the procedures described in the tutorials for which I provided links in my earlier reply.

IF @Freebooter's suggestions don't resolve the issue, you may be looking at more drastic "fixes".

>>>>Whatever you do, I respectfully urge caution to ensure that all your documents & files are safe & secure both locally on your computer and on a backup external storage device. You would not be the first person to lose their "stuff" when fiddling with OneDrive.
