If you are finished with a project or perhaps change teams and no longer need to keep a synced copy of a folder on your computer, follow these steps to remove.
***Important: You MUST stop the sync before removing, otherwise the entire library could be deleted from the cloud.***
To begin, open the OneDrive client by clicking on the blue cloud icon in the bottom right hand corner.
Click on the settings cog and click on Settings.
Click on Account.
Click on Stop sync next to the folder you wish to stop syncing.
The first time you stop syncing, a message will inform you that the files that were downloaded onto the computer will still be there but online only files (links) will be removed.
Once the files have been unlinked, it is safe to delete the files stored on your computer.
