How in the world do you stop/cancel a copy operation on OneDrive?

Question

_{Friday, September 18, 2015 10:08 PM | 1 vote}

I  give up!  I decided to copy my pictures that are on One Drive Public, to One Drive Pictures folder. There is about 1.4 GB of pictures, and this process has been going on for hours now..  I can't figure out how to stop the darn thing.. (Cancel)  At this point it still has over 260 files to go..  I would be quicker to just delete them, and upload them to the other folder.

Thanks in advance,

Dave``````````

I'm going to reply to my own question, (Kinda).  I still don't know how to cancel the operation of coping the files. The process finally finished last night when I was asleep.  What I did learn from M.S. Community (Windows-Onefile) was, I started the process from my web browser, and I've a really slow connection DSL.  So that is why it took so long.  (Never do that again).

So if anyone knows about the cancel process, I'm still all ears.

Thanks,

Dave

Try running the OneDrive Troubleshooter to see if it fixes your issue.

Hi Slow Joe,

Have you checked the task manager for the copying process?

If you want to cancel the copy process, we could to exit the OneDrive application to have a check.

Best regards

Hessamz, no I didn't try that, but I'll keep a copy of this for future reference.  As I mentioned above the process finished (finally).  I won't be making that mistake again (trust me)!  :-)

Thanks for your reply,

MeipoXu,  No never thought of that, but I bet that might of done the trick.  As mentioned above, I made the mistake of starting the process from the website, instead of using windows file explorer.  I might run a test on a (FEW) file, and see if that would cancel the process.

Thanks for your reply
