Windows 10: Clue me in on OneDrive

Can someone help me understand what it going on with OneDrive?

From what I can tell, all my "Documents" and "Pictures" are going to OneDrive, which immediately chews up all my space. I initially deleted a bunch of stuff thinking it was like a backup before realize the files did not reside anywhere on my PC. Thank goodness for Recycle Bin.

I've tried to change the location of my Pictures folder from OneDrive to my PC, but it told me that "the folder cannot be moved". So now I'm copying everything from OneDrive to my C: drive, but my default folders will still point to OneDrive. Can anyone help figure out how to get things pointed to my PC?

I haven't got a clue what you are talking about, I never said anything about Onedrive

 

windows 10 stuck at 2% for downloading windows update on surface pro 4

Please navigate to C:/windows/logs and upload the file named CBS.log on onedrive publically..This wasn't enough to give a clue

 

Right-click the OneDrive icon in your Notification Area & click Settings. Click the Auto save tab; set Documents and Pictures to This PC only.

Seriously? There is no setting to use a hard disk folder, but instead they force you to use is and give you a tiny amount of space unless you want to pony up for more? Sometimes I think Microsoft is as bad as Apple.

Oh well, thanks for the info. I'll take a look and decide if I think it's worth it or not.

 

Ah, so there is an easy way to do it. Rant retracted. Thanks for the info. I was trying to do it form within properties in Windows Explorer.
