Location of OneDrive Executable and Installation Types

The OneDrive executable can be found in the following locations: in the %ProgramFiles% folder, typically at C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive, or in the %ProgramFiles(x86)% folder for 32-bit systems.

The executable is usually named OneDrive.exe or OneDriveSetup.exe, depending on the installation type.

There are two main installation types: the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The 32-bit version is installed in the %ProgramFiles(x86)% folder, while the 64-bit version is installed in the %ProgramFiles% folder.

Both installation types can be uninstalled through the Control Panel or the OneDrive settings application.

Checking Installation Location can be done by looking for the OneDrive.exe file in the Program Files directory.

If the installation is found in "Program Files", the directory is set to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe".

Alternatively, if the installation is not in "Program Files", the directory is set to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" if it's found in the "AppData" directory.
