In this post, we will show you how to remove or uninstall theOneDrive app in Windows 11/10. Remember that disabling OneDrive and uninstalling OneDrive completely, are two different things.
Disabling OneDrive will remove it from your File Explorer, too, and you can re-enable it whenever you want. Windows 10 and Windows 11 now allow you to easily uninstall Microsoft OneDrive app via the Settings panel. In this post, we will learn how to remove the OneDrive app from your Windows 11/10 PC.
How to remove OneDrive in Windows 11/10
Press Win+I and open the Settings Panel > Go to App & Features and look for Microsoft OneDrive.
Double click on the app and click on the tab Uninstall.
You can also uninstall the OneDrive app in a different way via Run Command. Here is how you can uninstall OneDrive.
- Open Run dialog by pressing Win+R.
- Type cmd to open the command prompt.
- Type TASKKILL /f /im OneDrive.exe to kill the running OneDrive process.
If you want to completely Uninstall OneDrive using Command Prompt from your Windows 11/10 PC type the following commands:
- Type: %systemroot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall – for a 32-bit system,
- Type: %systemroot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall – for a 64 bit system.
These commands will remove OneDrive completely from your PC but some files and folders related to the app may still reside somewhere in your PC. Files and folders present in your OneDrive will remain intact even after you remove the app. To remove the residual files and folders of the app, search for OneDrive in ProgramData, LocalAppData and UserProfile folders and delete them manually.
The residual OneDrive registry keys from your PC, open Registry Editor and delete the following keys-
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
I hope this helps.
