    After several frustrating attempts following all of the solutions I've found, it appears that I have more than one "Desktop". If I right-click on my desktop and create a folder it syncs to OneDrive. I found another Desktop folder at C:\Users\MyName\Desktop. If I create a folder here I don't see it on my desktop.I want a folder on the desktop that I see when I startup my computer that does not sync to OneDrive.

    :)

    Thanks Craig, your suggestions were right on target. Easy to understand, and 100% correct.

    Appreciate that suggestion about moving files before deleting them..

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
