• How were you trying to change the default save location?

We're looking forward to your reply.

well I went to one drive and right click the photos file, which is a zip folder, and chose to download. I clicked save as and clicked which file to put it in, which was pictures that is under PC (this computer), now I went to delete the picture files that
were under the one drive folder, after the download, however when I went to click the picture files under PC the file was not able to be located because of one drive all of sudden. So I restored the pictures I deleted from under one drive and BAM! The picture
file under PC is back! I came to the conclusion that the default storage is set to one drive for documents and pics, and it is. okay so I went to settings and storage and I'm changing the save locations from one drive to "this pc" but when I click apply it
goes right back to one drive.

I went to the one drive settings found in my hidden icons and changed documents and pics to "pc only" guess what? it's still defaulting to one drive. I rest my computer and everything now I can't even find one drive in my hidden icons no more.

Yes, you're correct. In Windows 10, the default save location for new documents and pictures is OneDrive. To change the default location, please check this
article. In this article, you will also see
the steps on how to move your files.

To locate your OneDrive, press Windows key > type OneDrive > select
OneDrive.
