    Personal Vault Folder Names automatically changed to include the Computer Name


    I've been using One Drive Personal Vault for quite some time. I had folders created to help organize the files, such as 'Insurance', 'Mortgage', etc. So I was shocked to see that recently all of these folders were now EMPTY, but new sets of folders were created automatically with the same folder names, but with the computer name appended to it, such as 'Insurance-DESKTOP-[ComputerName]. It appears that all of my files were automatically moved into these new folders, but it's difficult to determine if any are missing.

    I have not seen this happen before, even when accessing my Personal Vault from multiple devices. The old folders are still there, but empty, and I'm afraid to move the files in the new folders back to where they should be.

    Can someone tell me why this automatic folder renaming occurred, and what should I do to prevent this from happening again.

    Is it safe to move the files back into the original folders in the meantime.


    THANKS,

    DJ

    :)

    Vietnamese folder name for OneDrive personal vault?

    I just started using MS OneDrive on my Dutch Win10 computer.

    The Personal Vault appears to correspond to a folder named Kho luú tr~u cá nhân. If I dump this into Google Translate this tells me it's Vietnamese, and translates as 'Personal Archive'.

    1. Why Vietnamese?? I've never had Vietnamese software on my PC (other than maybe being installed with individual programs' language support)

      All language setting on my PC are Dutch, my online OneDrive 'presence' is English, some individual local programs are English.
    2. I'm not using the personal vault/archive. Can I rename this?

      If I delete it, it immediately reappears.

    Note that I have hidden/system files visible.

    name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Personal Vault

    Hi AirGumby1944,

    My name is Marc, thanks for participating in the Microsoft Community, I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    You can try the following, these indications solved the problem with this same error code 0x8031b003 to other users.

    1.- Move all the data in the personal vault to a new folder. In OneDrive online with the browser of your choice.

    2. In OneDrive online, you deactivate the personal vault >> Personal vault settings >> Menu >> Personal vault options. Two warnings appear.

    3. In the Explorer, you remove all the remains of the personal vault. There must be a link in the personal vault and a personal vault folder that stopped working.

    4. Finally, you enable the personal vault, online in the browser.

    When you open the personal vault locally, all data must be there.

    Let me know if you have something else that I can help you with, I'd be happy to help.

    Have a nice day

    Regards,

    Marc M.
