    • Right-click the Start button.

    • Choose File Explorer.

    • Type shell:UsersFilesFolder in the address bar.

    • Right-click the Documents folder.

    • Click the Location tab.

    • Click Restore Default.

    • Click OK.



    Follow the same steps to restore the default location for your Pictures folder.



    Give these steps a shot and check if the folders are unlinked from OneDrive.
