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 concur the issue with OneDrive. Not only am I loyal to Microsoft, so much so, that I also Subscribe to Office 365. Initially, I was happy that by doing so also increased my OneDrive space. I have had faith in Microsoft and OneDrive for years. Now my faith is being tested by problem after problem with OneDrive. What happened to the good 'ole days of easily accessing a file on your PC, making changes, the file automatically syncing to the web, and doing so again with no effort. I am too busy to have an unpaid job of doing Microsoft programmer jobs just to get their products to work correctly on my PC. With that, I have already uninstalled and reinstalled OneDrive twice. After the first time, I started moving my files to Google Drive. I am willing to give OneDrive one LAST chance...fix it or Microsoft is losing one more investing customer to the competition.
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.
I have the same problem.
I cannot access my files, with the error message 0x8007016A.
I'm not even using onedrive because it has caused me a lot of problems.
This happened from an update (KB4457128) that was activated yesterday October 12.
I've tried to undo the update, but when the system is restarted, the update is up again.
My system is Windows 10 Home 1803 (17134.228)
And how do we activate syncing? i have been manually moving files and creating folders and it seems dumb but if I try to copy the root over, it fails just because folders already exist.
