How to install and remove OneDrive in Windows 10? Some problems may arise over time. I recently had an issue with my Windows where OneDrive just wouldn't sync any information to my computer anymore. It stopped working out of nowhere. And worse: I couldn't “unlink the PC” or uninstall the software to install it again. However, I remembered our good old friend Command prompt, as there is no option in the graphical user interface to uninstall OneDrive in Windows 10. However, after performing some commands, I finally managed to solve my problem. However, thinking of helping people who may be going through something similar, I decided to share here on the blog how to install or uninstall OneDrive through Command prompt.
Part 1: Uninstall OneDrive in Windows 10
