I swear at One drive all the time, like why the fuck are you preinstalled on my OS and why can't I remove you?
I understand that hating on OneDrive is popular here, but 1) you can remove it using the registry editor, and 2) if you don't log in and tell it to sync, it doesn't do anything in the background.
Because editing the registry is super normal to uninstall apps...
Fair enough , but on the other hand; I don't want to bother doing things I shouldn't have to do.
It shouldn't be normal that I need to debloat a product I have paid for. Neither that I have to deselect what I don't want to share with Microsoft.
Sure I can do most of that in the registry, but I shouldn't have to.
It's far easier to uninstall the toy OS it comes with and install a real os
