Remove OneDrive from the Windows 10 File Explorer
Thanks to these steps from WinAero, you can remove OneDrive from the File Explorer navigation to disable all of OneDrive in Windows 10.
We recommend leaving the registry entries that remove OneDrive from
File Explorer alone if you have even an inkling you want to use OneDrive
again in the future. Some users have reported that reinstalling or
enabling OneDrive after removing it from the File Explorer has
automatically added it back, others have said it doesn’t. Proceed with
caution.
Make sure to make a backup of your registry before continuing in the
event you need to restore your registry because of an error.
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following entry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}\ShellFolder
Change the DWORD Attributes value to f090004d.
If you are utilizing the 64-bit version of Windows 10, you’ll need to do the same to the following registry entry, too:

Uninstalling OneDrive in Windows 10
Depending on what version of Windows 10 you’re running, you’ll need to use one of two commands.
First though, open the Run dialog by searching for “Run” with Cortana.
Enter the following command to terminate OneDrive from running:
taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe
Now, enter one of the two following commands based on what type of OS you’re running:
- 64-bit: %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
- 32-bit: %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
It will appear as nothing is happening, but OneDrive will be
uninstalled in the background. You’ll find the OneDrive icon gone from
the system tray. You’ll still need to remove the File Explorer icon and
