HP PCs - Free disk space is reduced when OneDrive syncs from online storage
After you set up the computer and connect to an existing OneDrive account, OneDrive syncs with your other PCs and begins to download files and folders from your online storage to the local storage on your PC. Depending on the folders selected in OneDrive and the amount of available storage on your PC, the sync process might cause issues with the speed of your PC and the availability of free disk space.
To prevent OneDrive from using too much disk space on your PC, configure which folders are available locally. For more information about OneDrive, see OneDrive help & learning.
