a) Disable the file synchronization while keeping OneDrive
- Open the Charms bar, click "Settings", and then click "Change PC Settings"
- Select "OneDrive" and then select "Sync Settings"
- Disable the setting "Sync your settings on this PC"
- Optional: Select the File Storage settings and then deselect the "Save documents to OneDrive by default" to stop programs from automatically saving to OneDrive
You'll also have to make sure to not put any files into the OneDrive folder; once it's in that folder it will sync to OneDrive. You cannot remove the OneDrive while you still have your computer connected to your Microsoft account.
b) Unlink your Microsoft (Outlook) account from your Windows account
- Open the Charms bar, click "Settings", and then click "Change PC Settings"
- Select "Accounts" and then select "Disconnect" under your account name
Your entire Microsoft account will be disconnected from your Windows account and OneDrive will not work on your machine.
