yesterday I was working to to remove all files from onedrive

To finish removing all files from OneDrive, use this sequence carefully.

1. Stop sync first so deleted files do not come back:
   • Right-click the OneDrive cloud icon in the taskbar.
   • Select Settings.
   • Go to Accounts.
   • Select Unlink this PC.
2. Delete the files from OneDrive on the web:
   • Sign in to onedrive.com.
   • Open My Files.
   • Select the tick box at the top of the file list to select files.
   • Uncheck any shared folders and your personal vault.
   • Select Delete.
   • If shared folders appear as shortcuts, select them and choose Remove shortcut.
3. Permanently remove them from the cloud:
   • Open the OneDrive Recycle bin.
   • Select Empty Recycle bin.
   • Confirm with Yes.
4. Remove the local OneDrive folder from the PC if no files are needed there:
   • Open File Explorer.
   • Right-click the OneDrive folder.
   • Select Delete.
5. Optional: uninstall OneDrive from Windows:
   • Go to Settings > Apps > OneDrive > Uninstall.

Important:

• This permanently removes all OneDrive files.
• If files were shared with other people, deleting them makes that content unavailable to them.
• Files deleted from the OneDrive recycle bin cannot be recovered.
• There can be a short delay before freed storage appears in the account.

An image is not needed to complete the remaining steps because the documented process above is the supported path.
