I'm particular when it comes to my File Explorer folders. Although ONEDRIVE has been uninstalled, the OBJECT LOCATION for DOCUMENTS and PICTURES is still OneDrive. How can I change this to the default location?There aren't any OneDrive files syncing, so I just don't know how get this changed.In the previous version of Windows 11 it was quite easy. Now I'm only being permitted to change the Desktop's location.

OneDrive Personal has disappeared from File Explorer

I have a OneDrive Personal Account. This used to be listed in the list of files and folders in File Explorer. It still is on my HP desktop running W11, but has disappeared from my W10 HP laptop. I've tried the 'Restore your OneDrive' instructions, but they don't seem to relate to my particular problem, i.e., they seem to be to restore deleted files, etc, not to make OneDrive appear in the folder list in FE.

[I also have a Office 365 OneDrive from work. That is still listed ok.]
