But many users find it unnecessary and look for ways to disable OneDrive in Windows 11. Windows 11 has a built-in OneDrive, giving users ample storage space to save all their data. OneDrive is undoubtedly one of the most preferred cloud-storage services, like Google Drive.
If you don’t want to use the cloud service, you can pause syncing, disable or uninstall it. You can store your data on OneDrive, and it performs auto-syncing. OneDrive is the built-in cloud application that comes with Windows 11. I installed OneDrive from Microsoft and navigated around and noticed this "Unlink this PC" link that might be a good lead for unlinking the PC. I want to eventually use OneDrive on a particular folder, I just want to fully control what is being uploaded to the cloud and what is not. I do not have it installed on this machine. How can I get my Desktop, Documents folder, etc to be not stored on OneDrive? A lot of tutorials on this assume the desktop version is installed. It seems like this whole "local account" is just smoke and mirrors. Additionally, when I go into C:/Users/ I noticed that the user folder there is still the same folder that existed before I created the "local account" that I was currently logged into. So even though I do not have OneDrive installed it seems to be tightly integrated into Windows 11. The problem I noticed is that my Desktop, Documents, and a couple other folders are still in a OneDrive folder (C:/Users/username/OneDrive/Desktop). I had created a local user account hoping that by doing that and removing my microsoft account it would revert back to a normal file structure where the Desktop and other folders were all located physically on my computer. 
I signed out of it, made sure OneDrive was not installed (it was not showing up in add/remove programs). I activated it with my microsoft account with the intent of removing it after. It looks like they got rid of the option recently.
I could not find any other way to get through the activation. It forced me to use a microsoft account to setup windows 11. I bought a 2021 LG Gram which came with Windows 11 Home.
