Deleting onedrive is one of the first things I do when installing windows.
If a PC is my property the first thing I do is delete windows. But now-a-days I nearly never use hardware that I own.
I switched my personal laptop to LMDE. It has a Windows 10 LTSC VM for some specialty applications that just will not run under Linux, but otherwise I make it work. My gaming PC is the only computer left in my house that runs Windows, and it'll be getting switched to LMDE soon.
Not possible on work machines when they keep pushing for that.
no I don't want to put these work downloads or logs in my cloud storage
You shouldn't be using a personal email on a work machine...
Who said it was a personal account?
Then why do you give a shit? Work manages what goes on the work-managed OneDrive on the work-managed account. That's how it works on my work laptop, too.
Because I don't want to have to filter it out later when trying to find something later in onedrive.
Sounds like something you should bring up with IT.
Onedrive on a personal PC is one thing, but Onedrive on a work machine is a different product and is up to the company's discretion. If it's not working the way you expect, you reach out to the IT department so they can explain it to you.
Something to keep in mind though: at the end of the day, none of the work stuff is yours. You have no control over it and never will. Store your files the way the company wants you to store them, because if it gets deleted or corrupted or whatever, it's not your problem. I'm stuck with Windows 11 and Onedrive on my work laptop, but I don't give a shit because it's not mine.
