· Go to SkyDrive.com will take you to the online SkyDrive Storage

· Settings does offer a couple of extra tabbed options when clicked
o General allows us to
§ Configure the syncing of files towards other devices
§ Allow SkyDrive to start automatically when you sign into Windows
o About
§ Contains more info links
§ Unlink SkyDrive which is what we were looking for, click this option to Unlink you SkyDrive account from the local folder
Once clicked you will see the following screen, welcoming you to SkyDrive. This does not mean that your files have been removed you must do that manually, by going to your SkyDrive local folder and deleting the folders and files.
