  1. Moving folders from onedrive to c:/


    Just recd new laptop with Win11. Do not like way MS has structured to dop my files under onedrive. Do not want Onedrive backup or files hidden deeply in file structure. I prefer files to be under c directory for easy access. Have been relocating to this drive. DOCUMENTS refuses to move. Get indecipherable message "Documents cannot move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that cannot be redirected. Access is denied." How do I overcome this and get the documents folder moved to c:/Documents. Also how do I move desktop from onedrive to C:/Desktop? Very frustrating!!!

    :)
