I unlinked my OneDrive account and this called trouble.

After unlinking, MS Outlook doesn't start, I can't even check my emails.
The only option was to purchase a monthly plan for storage in Onedrive.

It seems choosing Office 365 was my biggest mistake in the first place...

If you removed the MS account then it would have unlinked for all O365 apps. You will need to re-add your account under Settings > Accounts. If you do not wish to use OneDrive, you can uninstall it or sign out from Onedrive only.
