Windows 10: Moving files from c:\user\username\onedrive\pictures to c:\user\username\pictures

Hi--I have a Lightroom Classic catalog which does not play well with onedrive. I also have no need for onedrive as I am without internet for about half the year. I have disabled one drive not connected, but want to get my files out of a local drive with the word "onedrive" in it, because it's just confusing. I tried to copy my pictures file from My PC\users\pictures which has as a path "C:\Users\nancy\OneDrive\Pictures" to C:\users\nancy to get rid of LR and onedrive having anything to do with one another.

How do I move the location of the Pictures folder from OneDrive (C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Pictures) to my C:\Users\Username\Pictures

I have uninstalled OneDrive from my laptop (Windows 11), but the location of my pictures folder is still C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Pictures. How do I change it to C:\Users\Username\Pictures ? When I tried to restore the location to C:\Users\Username\Pictures, it refuses to do so. It shows this error message. Can someone help? I am going crazy over this.

 

How to change locations of Documents or Pictures to C:\Users\username\Documents or Pictures

In my new computer setup, Windows 10 set up the folders Documents and Pictures under "This PC" to C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Documents and C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Pictures. I want to set up these folders to C:\Users\username\Documents and C:\Users\username\Pictures.
I tried to change location through folder properties\location\restore default. But windows did not allow me to do it, showing an error message "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied".
How do I change the folders of Documents (Pictures) under "This PC" to
C:\Users\username\Documents (Pictures)? Thanks.

Hi Dragonfire72_88,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

You had to stop the backup feature before uninstalling OneDrive, so it would return the folder location to the default location.

Now, you need to change the default location on the registry.

On the Start Menu, type regedit and press enter. On the Registry Editor, and go to the following key (you can copy and paste on the address bar

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select these values and change the data to the location you want (C:\Users\" Username"\Pictures)





After changing the values, restart the computer to apply the changes. Now you can move the files from the OneDrive Pictures folder to the User Pictures folder.
