Remove OneDrive files from desktop but not OneDrive

[jnichols515]

Hi. I just setup a new company laptop last night and it brought over all of the OneDrive files from another laptop desktop and I would like to remove them from this desktop, but not from OneDrive. How do I do this without losing the files? From what I see, if I delete them here to clean up the desktop it will delete them from our OneDrive folders.

Just close OneDrive by right clicking and close it then delete your files from the desktop. You can also do it by "unlink this pc" option in OneDrive Settings so first unlink pc then delete all files from the desktop then link your pc again. hoping this will be helpful...
