For some reason, my onedrive.exe program gets deleted after a day from the %appdata%\local\microsoft\onedrive folder.
I have uninstalled OneDrive and then reinstalled it. The program works for a day, but then the following day I notice that the OneDrive icon is not in my taskbar (i.e. OneDrive stopped running) and then when I go to launch the program, it says it can't fine OneDrive. I navigate to the folder (noted above) and the OneDrive.exe file is no longer there.
This is really strange.
Can someone help?

25 Jun 2018 I've been fighting this for the past approximately 3 weeks. Finally, three days ago, I used the "uninstall" option from the start menu. then I used a registry cleaner (PC Tune UP from Large Software), rebooted and ran the freestanding install kit OneDriveSetup.exe 18.25.204.9
So far, so good...
UPDATE 4 Jul 2018. Still all okay!!
Update 9 July 2018. - Still good!
I had been issue free for about a week or two, then all of a sudden OneDrive suddenly disappeared again and has since been causing problems... I'm disappointed that Microsoft hasn't resolved this after having such a long time, especially seeing as it completely breaks the ease of use of OneDrive...
I am running version 18.091.506.0007 and onedrive.exe is still deleted every 24-48 hrs. I've instituted a workaround until MS fixes this. I've created a backup subdirectory just to hold a copy of onedrive.exe in appdata/local/microsoft/onedrive and pinned it to quick access. Whenever I see the onedrive icon missing on the quick launch bar, I grab a backup copy from quick access and place it into its proper directory, double click to launch, and it's good to go until deleted again.

Go to control panel and "remove program". Select OneDrive and uninstall this first BEFORE trying to download the new version.
