Windows 10: My Documents folder is missing

Okay this is wired!!! I use Filezilla to access my FTP's. When i go to C./users/myuser/ i can see My Documents in Filezilla, but there is nothing in the folder!!!

 

It sounds like it's still saving in your OneDrive Documents folder.

 

When i try to open My Documents folder through Filezilla i get access denied

So the only thing there is for me to do now is to format?

 

Do you know the name of one file that should be in the Documents folder? If so, install Everything Search. Let it run after install and build it's index. Usually take 10 to 30 seconds or so.

Enter the name of the file and see what it shows you.

 

Yes i have done that as the other guy suggested

 

It's really sounding like the files are still being saved to OneDrive, as Brink indicated. It appears that 'Search Everything' did work, but it only shows OneDrive as the location. I just can't think of another reason why 'Search Everything' would only find the files on OneDrive, if there were others with the same file name on the computer.

Just to confirm, you did look over the LINK from Brink's post? (Because it sure seems as if it fits)

 

I think Filezilla is seeing the My Documents junction that is one of many there for backward compatibility.

I have formatted my PC now, but that did not help. Under installation I told One Drive not to sync my files, and i can see it is not even logged in.

Does this mean that it's under documents only?

 

It means that your "%UserProfile\Documents" folder is there, but no idea where the programs are saving to though.

 

okay what do i do now?
