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!

Hi,
I came across this looking for a solution for a friend. After pressing 'Skip', we found that the file moved anyway? I think this is a glitch!
Have a great day,
Snowy

Thanks!
I trust one drive. I repaved my laptop with the professional version of Windows 10 that came with Office365 business and it works fine for outlook.com (live.com) onedrive and onedrive with business. It was more about me hacking the sync and less about Onedrive. I am NOT jumping on the negative bandwagon or the "sky drive is falling (failing) it was more about not wanting to repave a machine to fix a onedrive sync with multiple instances of OnenDrive for business and the Gotcha associated with a office365 instanceand ADFS deprovisioning of an account and service that was no longer available. So please. Dont include me on the negative bandwagon. I have attuned and harmonized...
