    Wrong Documents folder

    Is there a separate Documents folder showing when you scroll the File Explorer up? Below is a screenshot of how it should look like.

    If there is a Document folder showing and it points to OneDrive, we suggest you perform the following:

    • Right-click on the Documents folder, and select Properties.
    • Go to Location tab.
    • Change the location where files in that folder are stored by removing the
      \OneDrive
      .

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.
