    I have tried about everything to move the Documents folder from onedrive Including uninstalling onedrive. I keep getting the message Can't move the folder beause there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. The target drive is the D:\Documents. I have looked in the registry for the documents in the proper location i can see the pictures OK but no documents. After several hours of trying can anyone on this site help me as I am so frustrated with this onedrive application.

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
