I have two laptops. Both with the same Microsoft Account on W11.
Laptop 1 has a display problem and is going back to the manufacturer to be fixed, well they probably just swap it with a previously refurbished model.
I want to delete all the files on laptop 1 before it goes back but I don't want the files on laptop 2 or One-Drive to be impacted.
Any advice on how best to do this please?

Copy from Local OneDrive Folder
Plug in the USB drive to your computer.Open File Explorer and click on the OneDrive folder in the left sidebar.
Ensure all files are available offline: Select all files/folders (Ctrl+A), right-click, and select "Always keep on this device".
Wait for the green checkmark icon to appear on all files (indicating they are fully downloaded).Select all files/folders (Ctrl+A), right-click, and choose Copy (or Ctrl+C).Navigate to your USB drive in File Explorer, right-click, and choose Paste (or Ctrl+V).

Can’t you just log out of one drive on the affected computer, then delete away.
|
If you already have the files accessible elsewhere just uninstall OneDrive on that machine then delete the files.
Setting, Installed Apps - click on the three dots next to it for uninstall
