Unfortunately if you don't see an option to delete it easy, that means it came preinstalled with your telephone software. You can go into the settings > apps and select one drive and disable it from running which also stop system hooks related to it also running,

Try restarting your phone afterwards.

Also remember Play Store is only aware of what you previosly had installed and not necessarily means you have to update everything,

It also depends on your launcher. You can drag apps to the top of the screen and it prompts you whether you want to uninstall the app too.

Disabling it will stop it the same way just fine.

The restart isn't strictly necessary these days with the cache/memory cleaning tools in Android although Roy's advice from the IT Crowd usually works.

It must be indexing lots of files I guess.
Glad you're sorted
