Hi there, just recently my OneDrive now has a "For you" section to "access my memories" and is showing some random pictures.

Is there a way to disable/turn off this feature ?

Thanks in advance.

    Here is the fix:

    After writing the above, a web search took me to Reddit to find the "Hide for now" option:

    1. Go to your OneDrive main browser page.2. Click the Gear Icon in upper right, to access Settings.3. Click on Options4. Ignore the Manage Storage page, and on the left side menu, click on Photos.
    2. You can see there the option to Hide the For You section.https://www.reddit.com/r/onedrive/comments/u8h9x0/how_to_remove_the_for_you_section_from_onedrive/

    Just talked to the support.

    For anyone who doesn't like this, do this:

    On the web version, after you log in, click the "settings" on top right corner;

    Click "Options";

    Click "Photos" from the list on left hand side;

    Click "hide for now";

    Hope this will help. It works for me.

    This worked for me! Thank you!

    Search for AdBlock in the Microsoft Store and install the extension in your browser. Go to your My Files page on OneDrive and launch the extension (it’ll be installed in your browser near the search bar). Look for the link that says “hide something on this page. Hover your mouse over the For You section such that it is completely covered by a blue box, then click your mouse. Voila. You may need to move your mouse around a bit to get the whole For You section covered by the blue box. You can always show everything and start over if you mess it up.

    I do not see a OneDrive "pop up', nor "help and settings", nor any of the steps described.

    I go to "one drive.com; then I see a "?" question mark and I see a "gear" icon Settings.

    I want to get rid of the "For you" "access your memories" and the other photos/pictures that automatically load.

    How do I accomplish getting rid of "For you" or remove the photo.

    It is highly unsettling to see some of these pictures of past pets and loved ones pop up.
