How do I stop backing up Desktop, Pictures, and Documents folders in
OneDrive?
If you want to stop backup of your folders to OneDrive, update your folder selections in OneDrive settings. If you are already
using OneDrive, Dell Technologies recommends signing in to your same OneDrive account on your new PC rather than disabling
your backups. Perform the following steps:
1. Click the white or blue cloud icon in your notification area, click Help & Settings, and then click Settings.
