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. ?

    Hi all.

    After searching online for ages to find how to stop my photos backing up on onedrive.

    I've finally figured it!!!!!!

    So for clarification, my onedrive setting for syncing was already turned off and it said there's no device for backup connected ect, yet it would still back up my photos......

    It's not onedrive.....its your phones settings.

    I went onto my phones photo gallery and on to settings and there it was a "backup to onedrive" setting. Which i turned off and its stopped haha.

    I hope this helps someone.
