For the time being, I have deleted everything to do with OneDrive.
Being a computer numpty, I have tried to inform myself about OneDrive and it seems its function is not really to provide backup - apparently File History is for that. But apparently File History also stores multiple versions of files, which sounds excessive to me - and you must connect an external drive.
As I already connect an external drive every evening and sync my Drive D (which contains data) with it using the free program GoodSync, I can't see that File History is any use to me.
I'm considering using a utility to do a further backup online of all my data - effectively another copy of Drive D. I know I shall have to pay, since none of the free utilities provide enough storage space for what I need.
At least this way I can actually understand what is happening to my data; with OneDrive I could never work out what it was supposed to do and what it was actually doing. (My intellectual limitation, probably.)
