    Default document folder restore

    Unable to restore default location of Documents.

    I am using Windows 11 with OneDrive. OneDrive will not allow me restore default location of my documents folder. The only document folder that is available is the one listed in Users/Marc/OneDrive. When I try to restore default location through the properties dialog box, it asks if I want to create a documents folder, then I get the do you want to move all items which I agree to, but then I get an error message. The error message states the folder can't be moved. The full dialog is "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied."

    I have full control under security and there is no other document folder in Users/Marc/.

    Any suggestions on how I can get the default document folder back and just use OneDrive backup so that it can be used strictly as a cloud backup for my document folder?
