    If you have uninstalled OneDrive from your PC but forgot to unlink it, you can still manage your OneDrive settings through the Microsoft account settings. Here’s how you can unlink OneDrive:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account: Go to the Microsoft account website and sign in with the account that was linked to OneDrive.
    2. Manage devices: Navigate to the security or devices section of your account settings. Here, you should see a list of devices associated with your account.
    3. Remove the device: Find the PC that had OneDrive installed and unlink or remove it from your account.

    This will effectively unlink OneDrive from your PC, even if the application is no longer installed.

    Hi Meredith,

    Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like OneDrive was removed from your PC but the account link stayed behind because uninstalling the app doesn’t automatically unlink your Microsoft account. The easiest way to fix this is to go into your PC settings and remove the OneDrive account manually. On Windows, open Settings, go to Accounts, then select Email & accounts or Connected apps, and remove the Microsoft account linked to OneDrive. If you still see OneDrive folders in File Explorer, you can right-click and choose “Disconnect” or delete the leftover folder.

    Are you trying to stop syncing completely or just remove the OneDrive folder from your PC?

    Best,

    Rez
