Yeah, I removed OneDrive at least twice and they “accidentally” reinstalled and reactivated it on two updates.
The second time I found out about it because I got a warning that they had uploaded too many of my files against my consent, my allotted cloud storage was full, and if I wanted access to my files I had to pay up.
I removed it again, then there was another update. Guess whose files “accidentally” got held for ransom again?
I quit because of the constant advertising causing interruptions to my workflow. Unacceptable. I switched over to Linux generally because I kept finding Windows to be a deeply unserious and frankly disrespectful OS.

Now I’m on Linux.

Disrespectful is right. I’m still angry thinking about it.
This was me with edge. After the third time that was installed without my consent I was like FTS.
I came in to say just that, so, I’m just going to upvote you and move on.
Easier yo ask forgiveness than permission.
Why do either?
True, but easier for whom? Easier for them, not easier for me when I have to clean up their mess.
Even easier to ask for neither.
Its the company gates built.
