    Is it OK to copy files backed up in One Drive back to PC HD?


    Contents of my PC started to be backed up onto One Drive automatically, although I don't want them there. Is it OK to just copy and paste all these folders/files back onto PC hard drive? Or would it cause any issues?I've tried to stop them being backed up by changing some settings so many of them now have red dots with x by their file names.Thank you!

    :)
