Windows 10: How to move everything from Onedrive to Local Computer drive?

I have onedrive disabled on my laptop but when I save stuff it still goes to the onedrive folder and it acts like my main PC hard drive (this PC).





I tried removing the files in the black square, I tried desktop first and It removed everything from my desktop. So I had to put it back in onedrive.

So, How do I put everything in this onedrive into This PC folder? so I can remove those Ondrive files.

On my other computer when I click the onedrive drop down, it shows nothing, I want it like that on this laptop.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

OneDrive vs. Local drive and back up drive


It's been close to a year now that I've been wanting to organize my photos/documents to be all in one place. I've posted other questions regarding this thru the year and am finally going to take the time to get things right in the next week or so. Currently I have all my photos/documents on a local drive AND on onedrive. I back up the local drive to an external hard drive.
This is probably (hopefully) a simple question and it's pretty much the last question I have. If I delete all the photos/documents on the local drive (as the same files are available on onedrive) and change my back up path for the external hard drive to back up the onedrive folder instead will those items in the onedrive folder be available on my external hard drive as an actual photo/document or is onedrive on my computer mearly a placeholder? I hope I make sense. I view my local files as actual physical photos, want to make sure onedrive is the same and not somewhat like a ghost image. I want to know that if microsoft's onedrive servers blew up that I could go to the "local" onedrive folder on my computer and/or the folder on my external hard drive and find the same photos/documents and be able to print them, send them, etc.
Thanks for any help.

I am setting it up so all files are synced between onedrive and my computer. What I'm trying to figure out is once I remove all the files that are on my c: drive (local) under users, pictures/documents and just use the onedrive folder are those the same type of file as what was locally on my c drive under users?
