Uninstall OneDrive from Windows 10

Let's imagine the scenario: we are avid users of Google Drive or other cloud services but we have never used - nor do we want to - Microsoft's OneDrive service.

Windows 10, however, integrates it into the operating system - therefore in all likelihood we will often see notifications that suggest us to configure it or complete the synchronization.

Although OneDrive has nothing to envy to its competitors, we just don't want to know about using it and those Windows 10 notifications that invite us to do it really bother us: how to solve?



Simple: uninstalling the OneDrive app from Windows 10! In reality this was not possible at the release of Windows 10 if not deactivating everything from the group policy editor; however for some time (in reality even I could not tell you exactly how long) there uninstallation procedure is extremely simple.

In the few lines below we will explain how to uninstall OneDrive from Windows 10, bearing in mind that we are referring to the Windows 10 app (i.e. the one pre-installed in the operating system and downloadable from the Windows Store) e not from the desktop program, which can always be uninstalled.

Uninstall OneDrive from Windows 10

Uninstalling OneDrive from Windows 10 is… exactly like uninstalling any other app from the operating system, since the “uninstall” button has been (for some time not definable) activated. To do so, let's go to Settings> System> Apps and Features and look for the OneDrive app in the list.

Trivially, we click or tap on Uninstall to get rid of it for good!


NOTE: : we reiterate once again that it is not clear how long it is possible to uninstall OneDrive from Windows 10 exactly as it is done for all other apps, so the functionality may not be available for you. Let us know with a comment!
