How to use OneDrive desktop settings remove the for You section
If your desktop version of OneDrive is synced with the web version, you can use OneDrive settings on your desktop to remove the For You feature.
- Firstly, right-click the OneDrive icon.
You should be able to find the OneDrive icon (blue cloud) on your Windows toolbar.

The For You section is a collection of images and videos that OneDrive suggests based on your history.
