    @candiecoatediv  You might need to wipe the drive completely and start over.  If the other 200 GB or so is formatted for macOS, Windows will probably not know what to do with it, or maybe not even "see" it.  Try this approach:

    If you can't format the drive, or if it doesn't help, pick "erase volume" first, then format.  You'll want to use the NTFS format, which is the default for Windows 10.

    I don't think it's necessary to disable OneDrive permanently, and uninstalling it is a bit of extra work.  If it's not opening on startup, you can open it manually if and when you want, and ignore it the rest of the time.  Just make sure to check that it's still disabled on startup if and when you update Windows 10.  A regular patch shouldn't change anything, but a feature update (the ones that get released every six months or so) might restore default settings.
