Remove Personal OneDrive Account From PC

MicrosoftI recently changed jobs and as part of this had to hand back all work related equipment which included the laptop. I’d been using it since early 2019 and, over time, had connected a number of my own accounts to the laptop including a personal OneDrive account.

I didn’t want any files left on the laptop when OneDrive was removed, so I set the entire folder structure to free up space so files were only on the cloud.

To remove a OneDrive account, right click on the OneDrive system tray icon and click on Settings:

OneDrive - Personal settings menu

In the OneDrive – Personal section of the Account tab click the Unlink this PC link:

Microsoft OneDrive - Account tab

When prompted with a popup dialog, click the Unlink account button:

Unlink account on this PC

The PC will then be unlinked; any files on th PC will be retained, but all links for cloud content will be removed. If you do have local files remaining you can delete these using Windows Explorer.
