Dr Diamond 407 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 This thing is a piece of shit. Does anyone have a way of deleting whats on One Drive without deleting the file from the computer as well ? The only fix i have found is to put everything i want to keep onto a hard drive, remove it from the PC then wipe one drive. Chookes said:I absoloutely prefer it this way.

Dr Diamond 407 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 No, if you delete anything on one drive it deletes it from the pc or laptop the file is on.It is incredibly annoying as it is called "drive" but is actually a syncing platform it seems.Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Chookes said:I absoloutely prefer it this way.

I can do that, delete file from One Drive but stays on desktop. Auto save is turned off once you save it out of One Drive. At least for me.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7660-microsoft-one-drive/#findComment-126889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Diamond 407 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 i think i can set up a certain folder not to sync, but its very irritating having to either turn one drive off entirely or remember that the moment you transfer a file to a different location it starts uploading..eh ill play around with it and probably just turn it off entirely Chookes said:I absoloutely prefer it this way.

Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk I'm with you, very strange. I'd definietly resave a copy of the file in a separate location outside of One Drive and then delete the original from One Drive. That should solve it surely @Dr Diamond Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7660-microsoft-one-drive/#findComment-127027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
