OneDrive is a cloud storage solution provided by Microsoft. If you want to remove OneDrive from your Samsung Galaxy Note 20, this guide is for you. Read on to learn more about uninstalling or disabling OneDrive.
Uninstalling OneDrive From a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Via the Settings
Unfortunately, you can’t uninstall OneDrive on most Samsung phones via the settings or Google Play. The only option you have on most Samsung devices is to disable OneDrive. This will disable the app, but it won’t completely uninstall it. This is because OneDrive is one of the default bloatware apps on Samsung.
When you disable OneDrive, it will stop working in the background, and you won’t be able to use it until you enable it again. However, it will remain on your phone. To disable OneDrive from the settings, open the Settings app, click on Apps, find OneDrive, and click on it. Then, click on Disable.
There is a way to remove OneDrive completely, but you will need to use a computer program called ADB. It doesn’t require root access, but it does require you to connect your Samsung to a computer and install ADB, as well as use the command line or terminal. Since that requires some technical knowledge, only proceed if you know what you are doing. Follow this guide here for complete instructions.
Signing Out of OneDrive on Android
Signing out of OneDrive on Android is fairly easy. Tap on “Me” in the bottom-left corner of the OneDrive app, and then click on Sign Out to log out of the OneDrive app.
How to Stop OneDrive From Syncing on Samsung Devices
If you want to stop OneDrive from syncing, there are a few things you can do. You can click on Me, then click on Settings and find the option to turn off automatic syncing on mobile data. That way, photos will only sync over Wi-Fi.
However, if you want to completely stop Samsung from syncing photos to OneDrive, the best way to do that is to unlink your Samsung Cloud account from Microsoft. On your Samsung phone, go to your Settings app and navigate to Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts. Find your Samsung account and click on it. Scroll down until you see Linked Accounts under Apps and Services, and then unlink your Microsoft account.
Then, on your browser, go to this page, find Samsung Cloud, and click on Remove These Permissions.
You can also try disabling OneDrive syncing by unlinking your Microsoft account from your Samsung account settings. Sign in to your Samsung account, go to Services, click on Microsoft, and unlink it.
What Happens if You Turn Off or Uninstall OneDrive?
If you uninstall or disable OneDrive, photos will no longer sync to your OneDrive account. Any photos or documents that were synced before you removed it will remain in the cloud, but new documents will remain locally on your phone only, unless you use another cloud backup solution like Google Photos.
Reinstalling OneDrive if Needed
If you disabled OneDrive from your settings, you can follow the same process to simply re-enable it. Go to Apps in your Settings, find OneDrive, and enable it.
If you uninstalled it with ADB, reinstalling it can be a bit tricky. You will need to use the command line and the OneDrive file package to restore it. An easier way is simply to factory reset your device, but make sure to back up your phone first so you can restore all your data and apps.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, there is no built-in OneDrive removal option; you can only disable OneDrive on Samsung, but you can’t uninstall it. Another option is to stop it from syncing by unlinking it from your Samsung Cloud account. Other Android phones don’t have this problem, as OneDrive is not installed by default on most Android models.
