Windows 10: Microsoft Edge tries to recreate old folder in OneDrive PC location

Our company uses onedrive buisness to store files and we have a IE compatible web-based program to review and download reports. Whenever I try to "save as" a report, the default is a folder that was located in the OneDrive folder under Users on the C-Drive. Even if i save in another directory, the folder has now been created and I have to delete again. I've unlinked the PC from OneDrive, deleted the folder under Users, renamed my directory in my online OneDrive folder and it still happens. Is there anything I'm missing to prevent it from happening again? This is a company laptop, running Windo

This PC leads to the OneDrive folder.

Hi Lance,

There are different factors as to why the default location of the documents and pictures folder on your computer is defaulting to OneDrive. One possible reason is that you setup OneDrive as the default save location of your files. For us to resolve your
concern, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer and from the left-hand panel select the
  Documents folder from the list.
• After selecting the Documents folder, right click on it and select
  properties from the list.
• Select the Location tab, and click on the Restore Default button. (see screenshot below)
  
  
  
  
• Select OK and if prompted to create a folder at the default location, click on
  Yes.
• If you get a prompt to move all files from the old location to the new default location, click on
  Yes.

Once complete the folder properties windows will close by itself and folder should not be using the default location. Take note that these steps apply to the different folder in your computer.

We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

 

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

 

OneDrive File/Folder location

Yes, followed the MS instructions. Everything looked OK till today when I noticed the "Shadow" OneDrive folder on the system drive (Its old location)
