Steps to safely remove OneDrive folders from your computer:

1. Right-click the OneDrive cloud icon down by the clock and select "Settings"
   
   
   
2. Select the Account tab:
   
   
3. Find the folder you wish to remove from the list and click "Stop Sync"
   
   
   
4. Wait for OneDrive to finish un-syncing your files (OneDrive will say "Your files are synced" at the top of the window)
   
   
   
   
5. In File Explorer, the Status column will also be blank. No cloud or checkmark icons will be displayed.
   
   
   
   
6. Now you can safely right-click and delete the folder. It only deletes the files from your computer, not from SharePoint online, where the files are stored.
   
   

If you accidentally delete the folder before you "Stop Sync"

1. Go to CG Insider and click on "Sync My OneDrive Groups" from the homepage
2. Find the Group Folder you accidentally deleted, click on the Gear icon and select "Open OneDrive" from the list of options.
3. On the left side of the next page, click "Documents"
   
4. On the left side of the next page, click "Recycle bin"
   
   
   
5. Select all the files you wish to restore to their original location and then click the "Restore" button
   
   
6.  Restoring files needs to be done in batches for a successful restore. Please do not select more than 500 files at a time to restore.
