This tutorial will show you how to remove the "OneDrive > Move to OneDrive" context menu for your account or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
You can use OneDrive to sync files and folders between your computer and the cloud, so you can get to your files from anywhere - your computer, your mobile device, and even through the OneDrive website at OneDrive.live.com. If you add, change, or delete a file or folder in your OneDrive folder, the file or folder is added, changed, or deleted on the OneDrive website and vice versa. You can work with your synced files directly in File Explorer and access your files even when you’re offline. Whenever you’re online, any changes that you or others make will sync automatically.
When you have OneDrive running, you can move files on your PC outside your "C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive" folder to your online OneDrive using Move to OneDrive from the OneDrive context menu.
While OneDrive is closed and not running the OneDrive context menu is not available.
You can remove this "OneDrive > Move to OneDrive" context menu if wanted without having to close, disable, or uninstall OneDrive.
This does not affect the OneDrive context menu for items inside your "C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive" folder and in the Gallery.
