OneDrive lost is marbles

Has anyone experienced OneDrive forgetting the selected folders to downloand just out all of a sudden its just downloads all of your onedrive and fills your hard drive?

That happen to me today and I realized what happen during an important event thanks MS!

It downloaded all of my Photos/Vidoes which are Gigs of data.

I am using Windows 10 Creators Update version 1703 OS build 15063.296 on a Surface Pro 4

Now I am trying to just remove my OneDrive and re-set it up and it wont let me disconnect.

    <p>I have an ASUS laptop and I reinstalled (latest) Windows 10 Pro on a new Samsung SSD and with the new installation came OneDrive. I'm an Office 365 subscriber, so I have 1 TB of available storage space and I'm using around 150 GB as a backup for my documents, photos, videos…</p><p>My laptop has 2 HDDs, an HDD with 750 GB and this new SSD. I'm using OneDrive as a backup, so it is supposed to mirror one of the folders on the 750 GB drive – all my files are available also locally – or so I thought.</p>

    <p>It might be time to update to a newer version of Windows 10 as 1703 is no longer supported unless you are on an expensive enterprise plan. But this has nothing to do with OneDrive.</p>
