    Thanks to Ryo and Russ for the hack.

    I wish there was such an option in the standard OneDrive settings.

    ps ps. The other folders you mention (Gene) are only visible when you disable the option "Hide protected operating system files", which i do have enabled for obvious reasons. The OneDriveTemp folder is a regular 'hidden folder' that is not actually hidden for most people.

    Gene, those are all on the system drive .. a lost cause indeed. The problem is that when moving OneDrive to another disk or partition, the OneDriveTemp folder is moved with it. One of the reasons many people prefer a separate partition or drive for their personal data in the first place is to keep things organized. Others who thrive on chaos notwithstanding.

    ps. The NVIDIA folder contains only unpacked installation files, it can safely be deleted (after installation is finished and the computer rebooted that is). Don't know about AMD but it's probably the same.
