With this latest version, you also have the option to uninstall only certain features of OneDrive by long-pressing on a widget and tapping Uninstall. These include camera backup, automatic photo uploads, and selective sync options. Note: You can’t delete or uninstalls these features from your device’s settings. After using Settings > Apps & notifications, select OneDrive to see which apps are installed on your device. To delete them one by one, tap Uninstall in the app’s entry under Downloaded (the first category). Doing so will not remove files synced to your account through other devices or via web browsers like Microsoft Edge. It is possible to uninstall multiple apps at the same time from OneDrive. Use your device’s settings to do this:

Press and hold on to an app until it jiggles, then drag more apps into it while holding down until a pop-up menu appears: Tap Uninstall. At the top right corner of the screen, tap Remove followed by OK.

Note: Selective sync lets you choose which folders are synced through your device. For example, if you only browse photos on your phone often, you can temporarily prevent them from being backed up in OneDrive.

More info To uninstall the Android app for Windows 10 or install the latest version (if prompted), use these steps: Go to Settings > Apps & notifications.

What happens to my device’s storage if I delete the app?

If you uninstall the mobile app completely through Android settings and then reinstall it: Your OneDrive account will remain active and available on your other devices, but you’ll need to set up the sync again for any new or existing folders that were synced before the uninstall. If you choose a different folder as your camera roll backup location, photos already stored in OneDrive may be deleted from their previous location (Settings > General > Storage & reset). Your synced videos will also be deleted from their previous locations (like SD cards), which might not be backed up to OneDrive.

If you uninstall selective features of the mobile app: There’s no change to your OneDrive account, but any preferences and settings related to what you’ve uninstalled will be removed from your device. For example, if you disable camera backup or automatic photo uploads through the Android app but keep them enabled on a computer, they’ll remain available on that computer until you disable those options there as well.

Note: If you have duplicate contacts after uninstalling and reinstalling the Android app repeatedly, try this solution first before creating manual copies in Gmail or Outlook.com using these steps: Note: This creates copies of only favorites that aren’t synced between devices and may not include all information saved into OneDrive.

Go to Settings > Accounts, select the account you want to back up, and tap Backup. This creates a copy of your contacts that’s accessible on other devices by going to Google Contacts or Outlook.com and crediting your Microsoft account as their source. To keep a local backup in Android: Press and hold an entry until it jiggles, then choose Copy from the pop-up menu. You can paste data into Gmail or other apps using these steps:

On your Android device, open your browser (for example, Chrome) and go to accounts.google.com/BackupSelect contacts with labels (such as Home phone number ) under “Contact groups” that you’d like to include in your backup. To include all of your contacts in the backup, check the box at the bottom of the page and click Create Backup. On your Android device, open Google Contacts, and tap Menu Settings Labels. Then choose Import from SD card or import from Gmail, and paste your copied data into the respective field. If you’re asked if it’s okay to auto-sync with Google Contacts, tap Yes. Repeat these steps for each contact group that you want to back up.
