After scouring the internet, it seems Microsoft's little cloud beast OneDrive is not only incredibly annoying with it's popup, it is impossible to disable. Not only that, but Microsoft insults every Windows user by referring to them as dogs. Yep, you heard me right and I have proof.

MS refers to the OneDrive popup as Dog Food. It timely serves this dog food to you, the user, attempting to get you to lap up their product. You can view this on any Windows 10 PC, btw. By using your Windows search feature to get to the OneDrive folder, type %localappdata% and then go to Microsoft>OneDr ive>settings>Pe rsonal. You can then open the ApplicationSett ings file with WordPad. You will immediately see the first four lines about the protocol for OneDrive referred to as Dog Food. Thus, you are clearly the dog.

How do you like that?

I found an advanced app that will remove OneDrive and it's registry entries without any consequences. It's called REVO and is excellent. Install it and the next time the OneDrive popup comes up, you can uninstall.

NOT E: REVO creates a Restore Point and a registry backup, so no worries.

I suggest you leave the OneDrive popup open until you find it listed in the REVO active apps list. After that, you can X out of the popup. Right click on the OneDrive.exe in the list and choose Uninstall. It will remove it. Yay!

Once uninstalled, it will move you on to the registry cleanup which is awesome. It finds EVERYTHING associated with OneDrive! Just select all and delete that crap.

Get the app here.
