    How to move folders from OneDrive to another folder in the c: drive


    A tech guy loaded some files from my Win7 to my new Win10 home.
    He also put my old Pictures, Documents folders in the following path:

    c:\Users\(name)\One Drive\ .....

    We don't want or will ever use OneDrive.
    More importantly Acronis won't back up anything on OneDrive when doing a full image backup.
    Even when I deleted the OneDrive from the Acronis Exception list, it will still not back it up.

    What's the best way to fix this?
    Can I just rename the One Drive folder to something else so it will get backed up along with everything else?

    :)

    How to move folders from OneDrive to another folder in the c: drive

    Moving Public Folder to another drive

    I have been asked to install an HDD in a church pc which only has a 224GB SanDisk SSD which is running out of space.
    The problem I can foresee is that the church uses an application called SongPro which insists to install in the C:\Users\Programs File (x86) and the data files in the
    C:\Users\Public\SongPro5 folder and does not give the option to be installed software
    on another drive.
    I have searched the web if and how the Public folder can be moved to another drive and found that it can be done using the following steps;


    1. COPY (don’t MOVE) the C:\USERS\PUBLIC folder to a different disk or partition
    2. Click the START button and type REGEDIT (not case sensitive) and press enter
    3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS NT > CURRENT VERSION > PROFILE LIST
    4. Double click on PUBLIC
    5. Correct the path
    6. Reboot the PC
    7. Go to C:\USERS\PUBLIC and delete everything
    Can someone here please confirm if the SongPro software is installed in C:\Users\Programs File (x86) (the SSD) and the path Public\SongPro5 folder moved to another folder will work?
