I have OneDrive on my windows 10 installed on Drive E:\ (which is not windows partition) and all the content I want to backup are in the folder of OneDrive. Now my Windows have some problems and I want to reinstall it. There are two concerns about that.
2- If we assume that the files remain untouched in drive E:\ (since I will format only the windows partition), after reinstalling windows, I want to install OneDrive again on drive E:\ to get the content synced. I have seen that OneDrive gets crazy when you backup old backed up files. I worry if it happens again and OneDrive backup duplicate files and folders and maybe get stuck in a loop. Is it stoppable? Is there any way?
I'm here for an update.
My OneDrive was installed on a separate drive and all of that drive was allocated to OneDrive.
Before re-installing, I unlinked my OneDrive and then after installation I installed OneDrive on the same drive.
Surprisingly, it recognized the old folder, it asked me about using the same folder and I accepted! It checked all the files and folders and at the end, everything was as it was before reinstalling windows, although it took a long time to check the files (but not downloading uploading and duplicating problems)
Thanks for your participation.
First off there is no "uninstall" for windows, I'll assume you're asking about a clean install format partition. I tried once to sync up a folder of the same files to onedrive but in my experience that's not going to work. The simplest method is to just reinstall OneDrive (after windows has been installed) and download the files again to sync. In my case I always have two or three pcs in sync so never a worry about losing the files.

I'm running the latest version of the Windows 10 Preview Technical. (Build 9879)and I've tried to figure how to make folder inside the OneDrive available offline.In windows 8.1 I just right click on file and/or folder and I had that option.But in windows 10 seems like it doesn't.
Can anyone tell me where this can come from. We have no retention policies set up on onedrive.User has this on some office files, but not all. Can't really find a pattern.If i create a new file, it does not have this error. I have no idea where this comes from
