    Onedrive folder locations


    I have three separate folders for my OneDrive files in my File Explorer tree. The first folder is directly below the "Desktop" folder at the very top of the tree. The 2nd OneDrive folder is in my personal folder that has my name on it with the icon of a man for the folder. The 3rd OneDrive folder is down a ways in the tree and is located here: "This PC">"Windows (cOnedrive folder locations :)">"Users">"mksti" (these are my initials)>"OneDrive".


    I'm not sure that I'm supposed to have 3 of these OneDrive folders. If not, please tell me which ones I can delete.

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
