Onedrive Photos, not pictures file

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for delay in replying.

Does this issue occur in OneDrive folder in File Explorer/Web Browser?

I suggest you to Change the OneDrive Location in Windows 10
and check if that behavior occurs the same.

To change the OneDrive folder location in Windows 10, you have unlink OneDrive from your account and then repeat the setup process:

• Right-click on the OneDrive
  icon in the notification area and then select Settings
• Select "Settings" and then select "Unlink OneDrive"
• Follow the setup process again and ensure to select the new drive or location to have OneDrive sync to; you must wait for your files to download again to the new location

Please note: if you've connected your Windows 10 user account with your Microsoft account, OneDrive won't let you unlink the application. You'll have to unlink your
Microsoft account from your Windows account first.

Let us know the status of the issue.

Thanks.
