Hi

A consideration.....

Tiny10 (a lightweight, modified version of Windows 10) does not come with OneDrive pre-installed.

Tiny10 is a stripped-down build by NTDEV designed for low-resource systems (e.g., using just 5-10GB disk space vs. 22GB for standard Windows 10), removing bloatware, default apps (like Edge, Media Player, Photos), Microsoft Store, Windows Security, and telemetry services—including OneDrive—to minimize footprint and improve performance on older hardware like Dell systems you're familiar with.

It has dangers in creating and running such a thing, so it is not for the uninitiated.

I run W11-TINY on a coupla laptops.

OneDrive is deeply integrated into Windows 10 as a system component, not a standard application. Because of this, the standard uninstall methods leave behind components that require deeper system access to fully remove .

Here is what you can uninstall One Drive from Windows 10 through the standard Windows interface:

1. Click the Start button and type "Add or remove programs" 

2. Select Add or remove programs from the search results

3. Scroll down or search for Microsoft OneDrive in the list 

4. Click on OneDrive and select Uninstall 

5. Confirm the uninstallation when prompted

Given your constraints, here is what I suggest about uninstalling One Drive from Windows 10:

• Use the Settings method described above to uninstall what you can through the standard interface
• Then use the disable/hide methods to minimize OneDrive's presence on your system
• Accept that some residual elements may remain—they typically do not affect system performance and are hidden from normal view
