How to delete auto save on One Drive

Dear all,

Due to a system change in our company I transferred my files to One Drive. As already discussed in your forum, this was no good idea.

I have now created a new project from scratch on c:, and all my TMs, Terminology, are saved there, too. However there still seems to be a connection to one drive, because when I try to save I get the message: Access to the path C\Users\xy\Studio 2022\AutoSave\xy is denied. 

I read a discussion from three month ago, see below,  where it was suggested to click:" File", "Options" and then "Files", "Default Files Locations". However, I cannot find the option "Files". Can you please help?

Your assistance is very much appreciated. 

Regards,

Ellen

  • I've been having the same annoying problem. Last time I moved the folder and it worked.

    I was also unable to find the COPY PATH on the ribbon, I use 2021 and just updated.

    I'm now doing a large project and can't afford to bleep around with Trados crashing. I decided to pause sync on onedrive. I can always copy the files to Google Drive.

    Once again, I'll just ask if someone can post or share the steps on moving the path or moving AUTOSAVE so I can get this sorted out. I think OneDrive causes the problems....it also screws with OFFICE/COPILOT files, with messages about security opening files etc. MS needs to work on this!

  • Lene, Have you received any assistance or have you been able to solve the problem?

    I am still encountering the above-described problem.

    I have started a new project, all files I am using for the project (Termbase, Translation memory, and document to be translated) are saved on C:. 

    But still, when I try to "Save", I receive the message

    "Access to the path "C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Mycompany\Documents\Studio 2022\AutoSave\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" is denied".

    Can anyone help to solve the problem?

    Regards, Ellen

    The most easy way to omit this problem would be deactivating the OneDrive synchronisation for the folder Studio 2024 (or any other versions) in your Documents folder. An even better way is to move the Documents folder completely outside OneDrive.

    This said, I have my Documents folder (including the Studio 2024 subfolder) in OneDrive and synchronised there. However, I have chosen the option "Permanently keep on local machine" (can be called differently, as this is my free translation from German) and do not have such problem.

    Other reason for this problem might be insufficient user rights for the access of this folder. This can happen, if you are a user on the PC, who is not admin and the admin has installed Trados Studio. I am admin on all my PCs and even if that is possibly not recommended this avoids many problems for me. So being in your shoes I would declare myself (my username) to be admin on my PC.
