    Hi @SBrooks

    Microsoft OneDrive is not listed as an app to uninstall in my setting?

    Do you see the blue or white OneDrive icon on the right side of the taskbar?

    You may refer to this article: Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive.

    Yet when I'm in Word, it automatically saves to OneDrive

    I suggest you open Word > File > Options > Save, uncheck the box of "AutoSave files stored in the Cloud by default in Word". Then the document won't be automatically saved to OneDrive online.
