Oh no it’s far worse than that. Essentially what happens is One Drive takes over your entire home holder, and then makes the copy in OneDrive the original. People try to disable OneDrive and then delete the copies in the cloud, only to find out OneDrive will then delete the local copies from your computer.

No if you download the local copies back then delete them from OneDrive, OneDrive will delete the local copies you restored to your computer.
It’s also important to note that the users aren’t “Using OneDrive” intentionally, so they aren’t even aware that there are steps they’d need to reverse.
The issue isn’t the users at all. The issue is that Microsoft has a software that takes files off your computer without permission and puts them on their computers. And then make sure it’s obtuse to safely get them back.
