You can enjoy the extended storage space both through the browser, but also on your PC. More so, you can manage files and folders as if they were on your own hard drive. However, managing files and folders means moving and deleting them as well, and users have been complaining about an issue regarding this matter. Apparently this error ( known as error 0x8007016A), happens whenever you try and move or delete files and folders from your OneDrive.
How do I prevent error 0x8007016A from happening anymore?
1. Keep your Windows Updated to the latest version
If this doesn’t fix the OneDrive error 0x8007016A, move on to the next solution.
2. Disable Files on Demand
3. Resume file syncing
Issues may be caused by your OneDrive not syncing to the cloud. As such, follow these steps to resume syncing your data:
4. Modify your PC’s power plan (only applies to laptops)
This particular solution ties into the one mentioned above, as restrictive battery-saving plans may sometimes stop OneDrive from syncing. As such, try to modify your powerplay so that it will no longer stop auto-syncing.
5. Reset OneDrive
The solution to end all solutions would be to reset your OneDrive. In a matter of seconds, your OneDrive will be reset, and you will lose all user preferences stored, but not the files and folders saved on it.
6. Remove the glitched folder by force using PowerShell
This method works best if there is only one folder that causes the 0x8007016A error
