If you'd like to proceed, I can give you the to move your files back to local folders or suggest alternative cloud services that integrate well with Windows 11. Which would be more helpful?

When OneDrive is active, it often "hijacks" your default folders (Desktop, Documents, and Pictures). Instead of being stored at C:\Users\YourName\Documents , they are moved to C:\Users\YourName\OneDrive\Documents .

Right-click your OneDrive folder and select

If you are sure you want it gone, you have two primary methods: 1. The Standard Uninstall Open . Go to Apps > Installed Apps . Find Microsoft OneDrive . Click the three dots and select Uninstall . 2. Disabling via Group Policy (Pro/Enterprise)

If you store important files only in the cloud (never downloaded), uninstalling OneDrive removes your access to them from this PC. Open File Explorer → right-click your OneDrive folder → select "Always keep on this device" to download everything first.
