I really want to un sync my windows 11 laptop from my desktop computer connected with the same Microsoft account. Every time I delete something on my laptop to free up space I don’t want it to be deleted from desktop. How do I change this? Please and thank you for your time.

My mother is having the same issue. There is no button to turn syn all the way off. There are only the individual sliders and all of those have been turned off. Yet, Microsoft edge is still reporting that "syn is on". She is on a work computer and needs to get her information off of it. Is there no answer for Windows 10?
One drive IS ALREADY OFF and not syncing but win 10 still has no "Turn off edge sync".
My computer does not have that option to slide the bar to off????????????
Open the One Drive App and look for the Cloud icon on the top right.
Click on Settings (not Manage Storage)
You'll be presented with this... de-select Desktop (and whatever else you want)
In Windows 11, it seems you now have to go to settings>accounts>system>account setttings>windows backup>one driver settings>one drive folder syncing>manage synch settings. Turn off syncing for whatever folders you want there.
