Windows 10: My Pictures folder is stuck under OneDrive folder and shows error when moved to folder...

I think I accidentally agreed to have OneDrive in my laptop when setting up my laptop. When I realized my 'Pictures' folder is under OneDrive instead of 'Users\name'.In online tutorials they said that you are supposed to go to properties>location>restore default.That worked for the downloads and desktop folders but its not working for the pictures folder. Even though I had deleted OneDrive from the 'Add of Remove Programs'.When i click restore default for pictures folder, it shows a dialog box that says - "The folder C:\Users\jnbhe\Pictures does not exist. Would you like to create one."

Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Moving folders with pictures

I figured this would go here.

So, in Windows XP, is there any way to move folders with pictures, and still preserve the order of the pictures? When you move it rearranges everything into alphabetical order, and that's not really helpful seeing as I don't name my files alphabetically.

 

Move the OneDrive Folder

Move the OneDrive Folder in Windows 10

When you set up OneDrive to sync with your computer, a folder C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive will be created to store the contents. XXXX denotes your username. To move this folder to another location follow these simple steps:

1. Unlink OneDrive from your PC:

• Go to the taskbar notification area
• Right-click on the OneDrive icon
• Select settings
• Click: Unlink this PC

2. Delete the C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive folder

3. Create a new folder (target folder) for OneDrive contents, e.g. D:\OneDrive

4. Create Directory Junction for the new folder

• In the search area of the taskbar type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
• In the command window type

mklink /J C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive D:\OneDrive

adjusting it to your specific username and selection of the target folder

5. Link again OneDrive to your PC using the OneDrive icon in the taskbar notification area
