@RayD_01 spotted that the cache folder has been moved to the \BattfieldGameData.kin %appdata% folder out of MyDocuments folder. Guys let me know if you can use OneDrive again!
I agree it is bad design but you should also turn off autosync. You are just handing your data to MS

I wouldn't trust Google, but I believe that Microsoft is different, for reasons of self-interest.
For Google, 90%+ of their turnover is from advertising, so for them, the user is the product - they will use and abuse your data in any way they can to make money.
For Microsoft, their turnover comes from Windows, office and increasingly, Cloud services like Office 365 and Azure. They make promises not to touch your data and they rely on having the trust of businesses. If it was found that customer data was being accessed, the loss of trust would be so immense that they would see a huge loss of income from those businesses. Yes, in the short term, they could make some extra money by abusing company data, but it would be such a huge risk that I don't believe they would. A tiny increase in income but at the risk of losing a huge chunk of their core income.
As such, you can read online about the steps they put in place to prevent even the admins who work in Azure datacentres from accessing customer data. If you ever contact their support, it is so frustrating as they have so little access, they can't see enough to help you.
And EA really need to fix this.
