Describe the issue

Thank you for your great tool. I noticed while Running Debloat within Audit Mode the script seems to run fine but have noticed that OneDrive is not removed. Even after a restart OneDrive has to manually be uninstalled with separate script. Quick Access disabling also requires manual steps. When opening file explorer OneDrive is in the Quick Access top portion of file explorer. Is there a way to include disabling of Quick Access??

Steps to reproduce

I have included custom apps list and settings files. New install from untouched Microsoft 25H2 iso. Entered Audit mode installed Microsoft Office ODT without internet connection. ODT configuration file included as well.

configuration.xml

CustomAppsList.txt

SavedSettings.txt

Heya,

Thanks for the detailed report. It seems like Windows will actually install OneDrive after the user logs in, even if it's uninstalled in Audit Mode. I'll see if I can find a good way around this.

Edit: I'll also look into disabling the OneDrive entry in Explorer

Thank you for your time. You are greatly appreciated.

I have included what is currently working for me after running your script. perhaps something can help.

@BigxxRed As of e66103f. The script will now create a scheduled task the next/first time the user logs in that will uninstall OneDrive. In my testing this seems to work quite consistently.

Are you in the position to test this? If so, make sure to manually download the latest version from the master branch and run that directly.

I will test today or tomorrow at the very latest. I'll get back to you. Thanks.

Thank you, that would be greatly appreciated!

works well for the links on navigation pane but one drive still lingers at taskbar system tray icons at far right. So it would seem OneDrive is not entirely uninstalled. and persists even after reboot.

Interesting, I'll do some more testing on my end to see if I can reproduce this.

I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour. Could you check if the OneDrive process is still running in Task Manager? Do you know if file syncing was enabled?

It does. You could disable this behavior instead of creating a scheduled task.

The registry entry for this auto installation on new user is inside the default profile ("C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT").

Path  : "HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT_NTUSER_DAT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
Entry : "OneDriveSetup"
Value : "$env:SystemRoot\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /thfirstsetup"
Type  : 'String'

I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour.

Maybe the scheduled task is triggered before the OneDriveSetup.exe. I'm not sure but that would explain why it doesn't work for OP.

Thanks for the detailed info, I'll do some testing to see if deleting the key you mentioned is enough to prevent OneDrive from being installed at all.

EDIT: After trying this out, removing the key mentioned above does indeed seem to do the job :D

This has now been fixed as of release 2025.11.30! The script will now remove the task that installs OneDrive in the first place, and creates a task to remove it via winget for good measure.
