  1. OneDrive changed my file locations??


    I reinstalled Win 10 recently and stupidly signed into OneDrive during the setup process. As soon as I transferred over my backed-up files, they all immediately began to upload to OneDrive. No matter how many times I unlinked my computer from OneDrive, it kept relinking itself and uploading everything. So I went and uninstalled OneDrive. Problem solved. That was about a week ago. But I just noticed that for some reason, the file paths for my Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders all have OneDrive in them: eg, C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Pictures. Nothing has been saved in the user folders at all. Is there any way to revert them back to the default user locations?
