Sometime ago I completely removed Onedrive from the registry so it didn't exist.

 

After the latest Windows upgrade Onedrive has returned as a hidden folder. and transferred most of my files to it.  Result is P3d airplane config files are not installing in the folder in the c folder.

Perhaps this publication may help you. Use an online translator, because the publication is in Russian.

Thanks Sergey,

 

Problem is Onedrive folder is hidden and can only bee seen via the PMDG xml file loader.

Try opening file explorer and in the menu bar click on "View" > "Show" in the drop down.  If there is not a check mark in front of 'Hidden Items', click on it to add the check mark.  This should make all the hidden folders and files visible.

Perhaps you did not quite understand the essence of what needs to be done. You need to reinstall OneDrive on your computer. Download the OneDriveSetup.exe file from the official Microsoft page and install it on your PC. Then you will be able to transfer the user directories from OneDrive to the local disk C:, and after that you can finally delete OneDrive from your PC in a legal way.

A long time ago I myself encountered this same problem, exactly the same way. And I solved it using the method described in the first link. I hope everything works out for you as well.

Have a good day.

There are no files on Onedrive.  PMDG for some reason is ling for the XML controller files, but Flight simulator files only work on files within the sim.  Onedrive is NOT in the sim.

Today a did a total reinstall and now the problem is worse. Now Onedrive is visible on the directory tree and everything I do now tries to save to Onedrive.  So I disabled it in the registry, but this time the blasted thing still exists.  I have not logged in which so far is stopping it working, accept for the PMDG files which once again has taken over the the xml files.

I'm well over this word not allowed.  I just want to have files located on MY computer, in a file location of MY choice not on the blasted web.  It is not possible no to delete onedrive, only the files on it.  Informed of this by Microsoft today.  

Thanks your your help, but Microsoft needs to accept the fact that not everyone Cloud crazy.

Cheers

Problem is now resolved, used settings and deleted from there.  Thanks for you patience.

I see you are in Ukraine.  I hope you are able to stay safe.
