Windows 10: Hi! I want One drive to keep all my files and automatically sync.

It seems I have files everywhere I thought I was saving to desktop but then sometimes I see i am saving to personal which maybe One drive. But I have the same folders in different spots and now I think I have been saving in the same folder name but sometimes on different drives? What I would like is to have everything sync to One Drive so I can delete all the files on Computer as there is so many that i have double of. I see almost everything is syncing into one drive but then there are a few folders that did not? How do I fix this so I can feel safe cleaning up my desktop folders?

Files in C: drive automatically compressing?

As you may already know, if this feature is on, every new folder/file you add starts off automatically compressed. If you would like to turn it off for the whole drive, kindly follow these steps:

• Start File Explorer . In the left pane, right-click on the drive that you would not want to be compressed.
• Click Properties.
• Make sure that the Compress this drive to save disk space box is unchecked.
• Click OK then Apply.
