What issue do you have?

I just installed 3.0.15 on a new (Windows) laptop. I used the OneDrive sync on my previous laptop, but accidentally selected sync via Joplin Cloud on this new install. I can get back to the home page via the back button, but then when I click 'Synchronize' again I get only the option to sync via Joplin Cloud. I uninstalled Joplin, deleted all related files I could find, restarted, and then reinstalled hoping to get back the option to choose the sync source, but this did not work.

After the last uninstall I searched a bit harder and found a .json file left over. Manually deleting that and then reinstalling gave me the option to choose a different sync option again. This is still probably something worth fixing so users don't have to uninstall to change their sync option, but figured I'd share this update.

@par welcome to the forum.

Uninstall isn't actually needed to do this. Tools > Options > Synchronisation lets you change sync services or open the "Sync Wizard".
