Accessing OneDrive folder on Windows partition

I found it! Michael's WSL link provided the answer.

I just need to delete the reparsepoint for OneDrive before I shutdown Windows. Here's my code: fsutil reparsepoint delete "C:\Path\To\OneDrive\Folder"


I followed the steps above, but it only worked for the root directory, and it's annoying to have to run this at every shutdown.

I found a different solution.

  1. In Windows, go to the settings for OneDrive, and untick the option to Save space and download files as you use them on the Settings tab.
  2. Sign out of your OneDrive account (this should save your settings)
  3. Go to your OneDrive folder (C:\Users\\OneDrive), and delete or move the folder to a different location.
  4. Reboot your PC.
  5. Sign back into OneDrive, and let the sync complete.
  6. Boot into Linux, and the folders and files should be accessible.
