I got my hands on a new laptop. After starting it up, I answered all the questions, putting in the MS login (no local account), and eventually getting a login window. I found that OneDrive was install. I kinda knew it would. So I want to remove it. I stopped it, turned off sync, and then went into settings-apps and removed it. The folders were empty. But they are linked Documents = C:\users\name\onedrive\Documents So I have some batch files that change a few registry entries. 3 batch files for Pictures, Documents, Desktop. Looking at them they are simply editing these keys. HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders While I was looking, I don't remember, but I'm sure I checked all. I then deleted the onedrive folder in the users home folder. Major majority of things work. Things in the file explorer, links I tested. I'm not sure what the user was doing but we were doing something and got an error that some onedrive folder was not available. I wish she had not gone thru it so fast. I've asked if it comes up again to stop and make a note of it. Does anyone else have suggestions that I might check? I did not remove folders in AppData/* so maybe that should be done? -- Linux Mint 22, Cinnamon 6.2.9, Kernel 6.8.0-51-generic Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Mozilla Firefox 134.0 Alan K.
