  2. Why I have TWO Documents folders?

    ok so lemme start off my saying i recently wiped my system and installed windows 10
    and i noticed even more recently that i seem to have TWO documents folders...
    i have one that has nothing that it should in it and the other somehow is linked to Onedrive...
    the onedrive linked one has everything that the non onedrive should. (game saves, etc)
    my question is...why? is this normal cause i can't imagine it is...
    i don't think steam game save cloud will work with onedrive so i need to know, is this fixable WITHOUT another wipe? i have no idea how my onedrive got synced with my documents folder. i didn't set it up that way. any help is appreciated!
    thanks!

    Why I have TWO Documents folders?

    What you are seeing is fine and normal. Yes, STEAM will work fine, and should your HDD die, you'll have a back-up of your documents folder (Meaning all your stuff there in that screenshot with green arrows)that will be backed up online in OneDrive. Your data is "safe".
