    Prevent one drive folder to point to library


    i have win10 pro

    Uninstalled one drive

    I DO NOT want my libraries to be in "c:\users\me\onedrive\documents" i want it to be in "c:\users\me\documents "

    I tried re-pointing using manage folders and setting default save location. But the icons in the navigation pane do not re point to the ME location. When i try to MOVE the folder, i get error that a folder by same name already exists.

    Any thoughts please help.

    Note; i do not want the files to be synced with onedrive

    :)

    Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

    Hi,



    Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



    To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.




    • Right-click on the default Picture folder
      and click on Properties.

    • Navigate to Location tab.

    • Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
      Apply and then click on Ok.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.
