Population:8.1over a year ago
I've Right-Clicked on OneDrive a few times, dug through Uninstall Programs multiple times and searched Microsoft's main-site and a few other websites for how to uninstall OneDrive. It doesn't give me the Right-Click option to delete it, isn't listed on my Uninstall Programs list at all and I have yet to find a single site giving legitimate data on how to remove this useless app. (and yes I also tried the way you have listed above and still have not deleted it.) I have a Toshiba C55-A Laptop and am running Windows 8.1 with 4 RAM. (These people really shot themselves in the foot with Windows 8 and 8.1 but having OneDrive (SkyDrive) as almost mandatory software being buried this deep is a slap in the face.
