Please help me disable personal vault I didn't want it and I can't get rid of it.

i.e. I get no "disable personal vault option", only the option to change "Lock the personal vault after".

Microsoft has a real problem that they keep tinkering with user interfaces so you come to a place like this for help and the answers frequently have no bearing on what MY user interface looks like.

Hi, Disabling the Personal Vault feature in OneDrive can be straightforward, but the exact steps can vary slightly depending on whether you're using a PC or a mobile device. Here's how you can do it: ### On a PC: 1. **Open OneDrive Settings**: - Find the OneDrive icon in your system tray (bottom-right corner of the screen). It might be hidden, so you may need to click on the upward arrow to show hidden icons. - Right-click the OneDrive icon and choose "Settings." 2. **Access Personal Vault Settings**: - In the OneDrive settings window, go to the “Personal Vault” tab. 3. **Disable Personal Vault**: - Here, you should see an option to disable Personal Vault. Follow the instructions to disable it. ### On a Mobile Device: 1. **Open OneDrive App**: - Open the OneDrive app on your mobile device. 2. **Go to Settings**: - On Android, tap the three horizontal lines in the upper-left corner, then tap the gear icon for settings. - On iOS, tap your profile picture or the Me icon, then tap "Settings." 3. **Personal Vault Options**: - Look for Personal Vault in the settings menu. 4. **Disable Personal Vault**: - If there's an option to disable Personal Vault, follow the on-screen instructions to do so. ### Additional Information: - **Personal Vault is a Core Feature**: Keep in mind that Personal Vault is a core feature of OneDrive. While you can disable it, the option might be to stop using it rather than completely removing it from your view. In some cases, you can just ignore it if you don't plan to use it. - **Support and Help**: If you can't find the option to disable Personal Vault or encounter difficulties, consider looking at Microsoft's support pages for OneDrive or contacting their customer support for assistance. Remember, once you disable Personal Vault, any files stored in it will no longer be protected by the additional security features that Personal Vault offers. Make sure to move any important files to another secure location before disabling it. Best Regards, Saurabh

Hello! The option to disable the personal vault is nowhere to be seen. I want to remove mine because it's causing my files to not sync.

Yes, I have the same problem. Mine are not syncing either. And it goes to sleep, you can't select an increment greater than 8 hours or so. I feel like I am a prisoner to this personal vault.

Has this been sorted? I also have NO DISABLE OPTIONS... and my files have stopped syncing. I am waiting for important files to move and this is a shocking scenario.

Hi mate, it was not sorted at all. Now I just had to end the task of Onedrive to make my computer working. Otherwise, it will just freeze my explorer.

I want Onedrive, I don't want personal vault it's completely useless rather like co-pilot.
