  2. Surface10 Document Folder Red X

    Recently got a new Surface 10 and installed Microsoft Office. Now I have a red x on the Documents Folder, Pictures Folder. I think it has something to do with OneDrive - I did not want all my documents to be stored on OneDrive, so deleted the folders from
    there.

    Please advise?

    Red X symbol in front of Documents folder

    Hi Rhonda_M

    That red X, if it is in the bottom left corner of the Documents Icon, means OneDrive has not been successful in syncing that folder, there may be just one file in that folder which OneDrive cannot sync . .

    The documents folder contains a lot of application data that is specific to each user. your best option is to have a folder inside the documents folder for all your files

    Then in OneDrive Settings remove the documents folder form the list of synced items and add that folder winch contains only your files . . .
