I need help wresting back control of my wife’s laptop from the clutches of OneDrive.

Her Lenovo laptop is somehow running Windows 11 and has Office 365 installed. Somewhere along the way OneDrive seems to have taken control of the laptop to the extent that if I try to create a file on the laptop OneDrive copies it to the cloud and then treats the cloud copy as the prime copy.

My plan is to make sure everything currently on OneDrive is copied to the laptop, delete everything on OneDrive and then kill OneDrive. My problem is I have no idea how to kill OneDrive.

Can anyone enlighten me?
