I had around 5000 pictures in my camera roll(Lumia 540) which were automatically uploaded in my onedrive folder. Recently due to low space, I have transferred all my pictures to my PC. But my phone is automatically downloading from onedrive and syncing.  Even though I stopped syncing, I tried deleting pictures from my phone also. 

How to stop my phone automatically download the pictures from one drive. ?

    I'm having the same problem. I already turned off Camera Upload. OneDrive is set to NOT backup pictures, and to not save them to OneDrive, yet it still does it. I don't know what else to try. If there's a hidden setting to change, I hope someone one here knows what it is.

    I would strongly suggest Windows or Microsoft, or whomever the **** is spying on everyone in this unconstitutional manner stop it.   MS  needs to not make this default but rather make it an "option"-only if the consumer agrees to your asinine policies, and makes it perfectly clear that they want to allow you, or otherwise give Microsoft permission to download photos, images, etc.   This is merely my suggestion.  I suggest you all work on fixing this very soon.

    Hello.

    We suggest you to Turn off camera upload to stop automatically upload photos and videos to OneDrive.

    1. In the OneDrive app, tap Menu in the upper-left corner, then tap Settings .
    2. In the Settings box, tap Camera upload, then turn off Camera upload to stop automatically upload photos and videos to OneDrive.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Sorry but this does not work. I set all my apps not to access photos, videos, records and so on, since I install them. OneDrive is the only one "disobedient" that keep saving photos even when I connect my phone to the computer restricting file exchange.

    Many times a year I need to clean up files on Live.com... complicated....
