PC Onedrive and online Onedrive?

[Windows Central Question]

pc onedrive and online onedrive

I have onedrive desktop app in my pc which sync with the online onedrive. But my pc is going to be re-formatted. Are all my data in the online onedrive will be gone/deleted too? What should I do to protect my data?

On-line OneDrive is a cloud service so it would be completely separate from local storage on desktop.
The purpose of OneDrive is so that more than one device under your Windows account can access files stored in the cloud.
