When you save your files to One. Drive, they’re stored in the cloud on Microsoft’s servers and–sometimes, but not always–locally on your PC. It’s a bit confusing because where your files are stored depends on the version of Windows you’re using and your One, and drive settings .
Where are OneDrive Files stored on my computer?
In the post above, you could know the One. Drive files are all stored in the C drive and also, you’ve learnt how to disable the synchronization between the One. Drive cloud and your personal computer. In the second half of the post, I’ve introduced third-party software to free up C drive space by transferring One. Drive files to another drive.

Another popular query is “Does OneDrive take up all the space on my computer?”.
No, all your files are stored on the both side if you are using One. Drive: our local machine and the One, and drive online. Only the local files under “This PC” will take up the storage of your computer. Regards, William Report abuse Report abuse.

You can unlink your Microsoft account and even uninstall One. Drive from your PC. Unlinking or uninstalling One. Drive will not delete your files.
How to move files from one OneDrive drive to another?
