If you are using Windows 11, you must have often come across the annoying Onedrive sync message that pops out of nowhere. Fortunately, Microsoft allows you to disable or remove it from the operating system.

If you don’t wish to go into more technical details to uninstall the app, you can directly try to force close and uninstall the OneDrive process to remove it from Windows 11.

Open the Run window by pressing Windows key+R key combination.
Type cmd and hit enter key.

Enter the following 2 commands one by one:

For 32 Bit System: taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe

%SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall

For 64 Bit System: taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe

%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall

The first command will force close the process and the second command will uninstall it.
