Cannot restore default location of pictures to C drive in windows 11

I recently uninstalled onedrive from my pc (unlinked from this pc, and uninstalled the app). I am now restoring my libraries to their default location on C drive. I have been able to restore my other Libraries (ie Documents, Music, Videos etc), but when I try to restore Pictures the only Library location option is Pictures in the onedrive folder ie (C:\Users\User\OneDrive).

My steps:

In file explorer navigation plane - click on Libraries

right click on Pictures Library

select Properties

click on Restore Defaults

and this is where the default Library location appears as Pictures (C:\Users\User\OneDrive)

 

Move my c:/Users/{profile} to the D:/users/{profile}

largonaut:

The instructions in that link did not show a way to stop syncing.

I Stopped OneDrive.

New situation

Quick Access >> Documents has:

• Location: C:\Users\{j}\OneDrive
• Has a Location Tab.
• Most of the files are still there. The files are all shortcuts.

c:\Users\{j}\Documents

• Still an empty folder
• Location: C:\Users\{j}
• No Location tab
• No Link

This Still did not help.

Thank you for trying

I created another user "Dummy" that has not MS login is a local account.

C:\Users\Dummy\Documents Has

• Location: C:\Users\Dummy
• No Location tab.

OneDrive should have no affect on this account.

----

Found that when logged in as Dummy the C:\Users\Dummy\Documents now has the Location tab

 

Unable to point Windows to proper C:/User profile

When restoring your files you should direct them to the new profile location. This command will tell you its name:

echo %UserProfile%

I suggest you only restore these folders:

• Desktop
• Documents
• Downloads
• Music
• Pictures
• Videos
