Windows 10: I am trying to move my WIndows 11 Documents Folder from c:\users\appro\OneDrive\Documents...

I have tried to edit the registry by using the following link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-move-my-documents-folder/26a76275-92f6-46e7-98fb-4c7bcb8870a2. However, after I have done that and rebooted, I am unable to change to the new location in the Documents folder properties as it no longer has a Location tab. Location for Documents still shows up as c:\users\appro\OneDrive\Documents.Any idea what I may doing wrong.

retargeting Document folder under This PC to C:\User\Julie\Documents from C:\User\Julie\Onedrive\Documents

I have a new PC. It has been set up with OneDrive. I don't want it. I uninstalled it but the documents folder under This PC is still OneDrive\documents. I can not point it to a new location. I want the document folder to be C:\User\Julie\Documents NOT
C:\User\Julie\Onedrive\Documents

 

Windows 11 hiding my C:\users\user\Documents folder

Open a Command Prompt window and type:

• cd /d %userprofile%
  
• dir documents * /a
  
• type documents\desktop.ini
  

Pls post a screenshot of the CMD window.

BTW, the proper way to release the Documents folder from OneDrive would be as follows:

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 erases 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.



1. Right-click the OneDrive icon in the Notification area and click Settings.

2. Select the Backup tab, and click Manage Backup

3. In the Manage folder backup dialog, click on the Stop backup link under the special folder (Desktop, Documents, or Pictures)

4. Click Stop backup in the confirmation dialog that appears.

5. Repeat the step for each shell folder you want to revert to the original location.

Missing C:\users\Documents folder

For some time now I have been unable to see the Windows "Documents" folder on C:\users. All I see is the C:\users\OneDrive\Documents folder.

Does OneDirve somehow interact with the Windows Documents folder and somehow combine them? I can't imagine that to be the case since Memory on OneDrive is proprietary, available for a fee, which is why I tend to avoid putting everything on OneDrive, even
though I have more than enough memory on my OneDrive account.

Can the Windows Documents folder get hidden somehow, or even erased?
