Windows 10: I want my file on my computer so that when I unlink onedrive they are still there

My desktop is linked with my onedrive. I also have checked the box on settings so that all files are to be kept on the computer. I kept getting messages that my onedrive was full. I tried to unlink and stop syncing the onedrive. When that happened, the desktop files disappeared even though I made sure the files were supposed to be on the local machine. I want to be able to assign only specific files to save on onedrive and I don't want any of my files to disappear from my computer for any reason, ever. This idea that onedrive is saving me space does not apply to me and is an inconvenience. Please give me instructions so that I can:

Keep all files on my computer and not on onedrive.

select only certain files to be saved to one drive
