Unsticking OneDrive on Windows

unstick_onedrive.bat

@echo off

rem Sometimes OneDrive gets stuck and won't be able to sync files.
rem It will just spin on "looking for changes" or some nonsense.
rem (This seems to especially happen when the internet is not reliable
rem   or perhaps just in certain geographic regions? I haven't been able
rem   to find out. I live in the Middle East, though, and OneDrive is
rem   super unreliable and it makes me sad.)
rem This script resets its syncing status and restarts the app,
rem   but it means it may have to take a while to get back to
rem   properly working. So don't run this just for funsies, but if
rem   your OneDrive hasn't been working for a while, this could help.

rem (I am definitely not a masterful batch file programmer, so this is
rem   almost certainly sub-optimal.)
