Windows 10: How do I have some folders stored locally only and NOT on onedrive

Hello,I have some software that stores files in Documents/*******how do i stop these from syncing and only have them saved on my PC?this extremely annoying I cant run this software without onedrive syncing and its a huge amount of data that does not need to be backed up and is changed whenever I use the program.I tried de-linking PC from onedrive but then all files are not accessible including desktop.OR how can i just remove onedrive and still have my files?

Libraries are placed in onedrive folder instead of local folder

Hi HalSATL,

They're shell folders, which are different from Libraries.

To revert the shell folder locations to default, open OneDrive and do the following:

Important: Before proceeding, copy the files in those special folders to another folder or external drive. Please don’t copy them anywhere under Desktop/Documents/Pictures. This is because disabling OneDrive backup for a folder might erase the local copies of the files. Copying them to a different location beforehand will ensure that you don’t need to download them again from the OneDrive cloud.

• Right-click the OneDrive icon in the Notification area and click Settings.
  
• Select the Backup tab, and click Manage Backup
  
• In the Manage folder backup dialog, click on the Stop backup link under the special folder (Desktop, Documents, or Pictures)
  
• Click Stop backup in the confirmation dialog that appears.
  
• Repeat the step for each shell folder you want to revert to the original location.

Screenshots are storing in an obscure OneDrive folder

My screenshots don't got to C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots like they're supposed to. That folder is empty.

Instead, they all go to C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Cloud Backups\OneDrive sync folders\Pictures\Screenshots.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling OneDrive's option to save screenshots. No difference.
I've tried changing the properties of the default Screenshots folder to move it elsewhere and move it back. No change.
I've tried hacking the registry to manually change the long pathname to the default one, but it resets itself on reboot.
I've also noticed that screenshots are never stored locally (that is, C:\Users\username\Pictures\Screenshots) no matter what I do.

Weird. Any hints or suggestions?
