Windows 10: I Can't Change My Destination For Documents.

I uninstalled Onedrive but still I have the folder destination for my Documents and Pictures folder. It shows right now as the default "C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Documents"When I try to remove the Onedrive in the location setting, it says "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected Access is denied". I don't even know why Onedrive is here I uninstalled it a long time ago. I have Windows 11 Pro.

The next troubleshooting step we suggest is to restore the default location of the folders. To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  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.

 

Print to PDF destination file

how do you change the destination of the Print to PDF ? I know it defaults to the documents folder, but I want to change the destination to a easier location.

Can it be done or is it another "wish list" for future updates?

It's possible that some user profile system files may have been corrupted, causing the missing Location tab. The next step we recommend is to create a new local user account for computer to see if the
"Documents" and "Pictures" folders under "This PC" will be set to the default location instead of the OneDrive location. You may follow the steps listed here to
create a new local user account.
