Why does my Onedrive.exe file disappear from the %appdata%\local\microsoft\onedrive folder?

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?

    Just a quick update.  It has been since June 5 when I installed version 18.091.0506.0006 and I have not had any problems thus far.

    Can you confirm what version of OneDrive you had/have installed?

    If you go into your %appdata%\local\microsoft\onedrive you should see a subfolder which is named with a number string.  This is the version of the OneDrive build that is installed on your machine.  What number is it?

    I think it is possible that there is a problem with the 18.065.0329.0002 version (though not sure).   I would recommend install the 18.091.0506.0006 which is what I am using now.
