    Move Documents folder out of OneDrive when OneDrive has not been set up, isn't active or...


    I have Windows 10 on my laptop. I did not set up OneDrive and I have never signed into it. Windows 10 was pre-installed when I got the new laptop. I likely made a mistake when I set up my user account. However, my Documents folder is in OneDrive along with Desktop and Downloads and a couple other folders. They are not syncing to OneDrive since I have not signed it. OneDrive does not show up in the Task Bar - it is not actively running as far as I can tell definitely could be wrong about this though.I would like to use the default Documents folder and Downloads, etc.. I read several article

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Why I have TWO Documents folders?

    ok so lemme start off my saying i recently wiped my system and installed windows 10
    and i noticed even more recently that i seem to have TWO documents folders...
    i have one that has nothing that it should in it and the other somehow is linked to Onedrive...
    the onedrive linked one has everything that the non onedrive should. (game saves, etc)
    my question is...why? is this normal cause i can't imagine it is...
    i don't think steam game save cloud will work with onedrive so i need to know, is this fixable WITHOUT another wipe? i have no idea how my onedrive got synced with my documents folder. i didn't set it up that way. any help is appreciated!
    thanks!
