Apps Reset OneDrive in Windows 10 and Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to reset OneDrive for your account 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.

Resetting Microsoft OneDrive can sometimes resolve sync issues. OneDrive will perform a full sync after the reset.

Resetting OneDrive will also reset your choose folders to sync with OneDrive settings back to default.

You won't lose any data by resetting OneDrive.
