I have an arduino clone and am trying to learn how to use some sensors but am having trouble with the IDE. I can only compile or upload my code once, and then if I try to do it again it gives me this error messageArduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.
I tried uninstalling the ide and then reinstalling it but it still does not work, I'm kind of new to electronics so if someone could help that would be great.
really, how do i fix it. That would also explain why it works fine on my pc at home witch does not have onedrive
Place files outside of OneDrive
There is a setting in OneDrive; something like 'files on demand' or so. You can search this forum or google it.
There is a bug report on gitHub and I think that it will be solved in the next version of the IDE.
oh, what i did was change the location of the sketchbook folder to downloads because that was not in one drive

If you do want to continue using the Arduino IDE with OneDrive, you may be interested to know that the bug has already been fixed in the beta build of the Arduino IDE, which you can download here:
but be aware that version of the Arduino IDE is primarily intended only for beta testing so you may have a higher chance of encountering bugs than you would using the production releases of the IDE.
To see details on the problem, steps that are being taken to fix it, and other possible workarounds that will allow you use the Arduino IDE with OneDrive, see:

It seems recent Windows 10 versions combined with OneDrive suffer from arduino-b… uilder not being able to read files. This is reported as arduino/Arduino#6867 and arduino/Arduino#6932. The symptoms are similar as #90, but I think the underlying issue is similar but different, so I'm opening a new issue.
arduino/Arduino#6932 contains the error output:

The reporter has tested a number of versions, and has found that 1.6.5 works, but 1.6.6 breaks things, on this particular system. The latter version is the one introducing arduino-builder.
One difference here, is that the .ino file seems to be a link (or some other special file), not the directory.
@phil85521 @ngmacha, could either of you get some more info on the .ino file that is failing? E.g. look at its properties or use some other Windows tool to figure out what kind of file it is, whether it is indeed a junction or some other kind of special file? I don't have any specific ideas what to do, not being a Windows-user.
Looking at the go code previously patched (https://github.com/golang/go/commit/571738569e9b6bb30ebceaf2eb5936f6ee254e34#diff-495e6a9c70ec790e4be07ee30c55141f) it seems that this file might be (or have?) some kind of "reparse point" that is not a symlink or junction (which are the supported types). This [post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47264992/one-drive-as-reparse-point) suggests that OneDrive uses the "Cloud" reparse tag (`IO_REPARSE_TAG_CLOUD_7`), which golang does not seem to explicitly support (in its [master branch](https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/syscall/syscall_windows.go#L1022-L1055)).
I suspect this is something to fix at the golang end, it seems there is already a related issue open at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22579 (which I'll provide with some extra info next).
