  1. Unsync Documents from OneDrive


    I noticed my pc trying to upload 700+ MB of data to OneDrive yesterday and was confused as to what caused it. Apparently since the default location of Documents has been set to OneDrive which I, by the way, found very unclear at setup, I would not have agreed to it, all my save files from Steam, GOG etc. are now there. Now, I would like to following:


    1. Set the default Documents location back to local storage, on my pc.

    2. Remove games-related Documents from OneDrive while keeping some others, and in the future sync only particular subfolders of Documents to OneDrive while *also* having them saved locally.


    How can I achieve this?

    :)

    UNsync OneDrive

    I just got a Windows 10 Pro Dell XPS. In Windows Explorer, when contents of This PC are displayed, what are the 'pushpins' next to Desktop, Downloads, Documents, etc (in the left pane)?


    When I transferred all my files to the Documents folder, OneDrive started to upload them. I do NOT want them all uploaded to OneDrive. I closed OneDrive, ended up in Settings somewhere and unsynced it. It continues to upload all my files when I turn the pc on again. This is a major problem here

    Unsynced OneDrive Folders

    Folders I've chosen not to sync to my computer from One Drive will not appear in File Explorer. Combined with the disappearance of the OneDrive App, the only way to access unsynced OneDrive folders is by opening a browser. Am I doing something wrong?
