Windows 10: How to return my folders back to original places and remove from OneDrive

Years ago when I installed Windows 10, it moved my Desktop, Documents and Pictures to OneDrive. I solved the issue somehow and restored those folders to their default places. But today I installed update, restarted PC and Windows suggested me to tune my PC. In the wizard on the page with OneDrive I choosed to keep files locally. But it broke my environment and moved everything under OneDrive anyway.

Library Folders and Onedrive

I have now done the Location Move on the folders affected

One change has shown up. Previously even though a Folder location was changed the original folder remained, you suggested deleting it after removing it from the Library. In the past I have left it where it was to allow programs that refer to the Documents
folder via the UNC path to still have somewhere to drop files.

However after the move I found the Library now only had one path listed (in OneDrive) and it had been removed from the original location. So the result is as you suggested but I didn't have to do it.

I know there was an issue with build 1809 deleting files when it removed the folder (there were none in mine anyway) but this computer is build 1803.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.
