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.

    The Subject here is how we can turn off sync, not nececery OneDrive itself. They may use that to store our settings, yet we still want a clean uninstall and not carry out old settings. We need a switch, which I think we had.. before
