After some problems I reset OneDrive and moved the folder to another location (on another partition).
I pointed OneDrive setting to this new empty folder called OneDrive.
All my files (385GB) are downloading now to this new (empty) OneDrive folder.
I don't want to leave anything just in the cloud on demand.
I don't trust OneDrive anymore.
The downloading (syncing) is very very slow.
While syncing I get the message that there will be 2 copies of the same file created.
The name of the second file has the name of my PC attached.
The OneDrive files are syncing to an empty folder.
How can there be two versions of the same file????
I have to stop the synchronizing before my files get corrupted.
Second problem!
In the old location of the OneDrive folder there is still an "old" folder with all my files.
This folder is not part of OneDrive anymore and is certainly not syncing.
It's just a normal folder with some files.
When I try to delete a folder inside this old OneDrive I get an error saying this is not possible???
This folder cannot be deleted because the cloudprovider is not running.
Error 0x8007016A
Do I have to reset again?
I stil need my files in the OneDrive cloud.
I'm afraid of loosing my files.
Is this the "new" OneDrive?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I get also this error 0x8007016A since the Windows 10 April 2018 update with the files on demand setting. As a workaround I have to switch off file on demand, wait for the restart of OneDrive and then I delete the not fully synced file (only thumbnail but filesize zero). After deletion OneDrive downloads the file again from the cloud. This is definitely a bug!

I have same problem
Hi Eric-Kell,
When yo reset one drive ill re-sync all files from the cloud so this is a normal behavior.
So far i understand that you have a duplicate files now. if yes identify the duplicity and remove it.
Can you go to one drive online to verify if all your file are there?
If the synchronization is slow it might be your bandwidth because one drive is synchronizing all files at once.
If you have multiple folders ill suggest to choose folders to sync until you get all you files synced.
