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.
How can I turn off the sync function my Microsoft account from my windows 11 laptop?

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.

"Open Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings
Under Sync your settings on This PC, move the slider to the left to Turn Off"Takes me to a page with a list of slide bars that fall under the title of "Personal". They are all turned off. MS is still syncing. Now what?
