Before proceeding with the deletion of the files, make sure the OneDrive and SharePoint files do not show the Status field. Otherwise, you need to wait for the system to finish the process of your request.

 

Once finalized the request, just open File Explorer and delete all files located in C:\Users\account_name\OneDrive\.
