IMPORTANT - do this OFFLINE or you may wipe out your data in the cloud.


On your taskbar > click the Show Hidden Icons > right click OneDrive icon > click Settings




In the settings box go to the Account tab > click Unlink OneDrive > this stops the sync between PC <> cloud





Open your File Explorer and navigate to OneDrive.



Delete all the files and folders out of OneDrive. Empty Recycle Bin. This reclaims the space on your HDD.

Use your browser to upload/download/maintain your OneDrive.

A slightly better route would be to unsync all folders so that there is nothing stored on your pc and then follow the steps above. That way there's no risk of unintentionally deleting files on the cloud
