You can choose which folders you want synced to your device

I like this feature because it means you can connect multiple computers to OneDrive and decide which folders each computer has access to. Once you’ve started your sync, you can use the desktop app to select which files will appear on the device. I was a bit disappointed to discover that you can’t schedule backups with OneDrive. That same data can be backed up, but only through the desktop app. You can sync documents, videos, audio, and photos using any of OneDrive’s available apps – mobile, desktop, and web. OneDrive is designed to function as both cloud storage and a cloud backup.

You must permanently delete these items in the Recycle Bin to free up space for other items. The Recycle Bin opens and shows you a list of all items you’ve deleted in your library. If you want to free up space, select Open OneDrive for work or school Recycle Bin. This opens a Storage Metrics page that shows you the size of each item you’re storing, and the percentage of available storage it’s using. If you want to see how much space you’re using, select View OneDrive for work or school storage.

Right-click the OneDrive for work or school icon in the Windows notification area, and then select Manage storage. Note: Not sure which sync client you're using? See Which OneDrive app?
