Windows 10: Quick Acces folder now showing OneDrive Documents after reset.

A few days ago, I did a full reset on my computer due to numerous reasons. After starting it up, I noticed that, on file explorer, under quick access, the documents folder was now my OneDrive documents folder. I don't use OneDrive on Windows 10 file explorer, as I prefer the setup on the online one.


Either way, is there a way to set the documents on quick access as the actually document folder on my PC instead of the OneDrive edition.


Note also that I have disabled OneDrive already on my PC.


Many Thanks,

Ethan

Documents/Pictures folders under 'This PC' refer to onedrive - not the local folders

Thank you for the quick response, Micah.

My documents are already being saved to 'This PC only'.

The Documents folder in the libraries is correct (local drive).

The Documents folder in the quick access area is correct (local drive).

The only thing that is incorrect is the documents folder under 'This PC'?

Also is 'winhelponline.com' affiliated with Microsoft?

Thanks again

 

Documents folder shows both in and out of OneDrive folder, as well as in a "library"

Why does file explorer show my Documents folder both in OneDrive (where it really exists) and in my home folder (where it does not really exist)? And what is this library thing that also has a redundant way of accessing the Documents folder?

In other words,

1. if I go to C:\Users\<myname> there is no Documents folder, BUT
2. if click on my home directory icon on the desktop it DOES show me a Documents folder, an apparent conflict with number 1.
3. If I look at Libraries I see a Documents Library that contains the same Documents folder, an apparent redundancy.

This folder is actually in (and only in) my OneDrive folder. If I put a file in any of those places it shows up in all places, so it's really all the same place.

Are there multiple, unrelated, concepts conspiring to obfuscate things to the point where I might inadvertently delete something I shouldn't?

 

Cannot Unpin from Quick Access Since Microsoft Switched Local Documents and Pictures to OneDrive Folders

Hi Nathan,

This issue may have occurred due to some system conflict after the updates on your PC. To resolve this, we suggest that you reset the Quick Access folder. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R then copy and paste the file location:
  
  %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
• Select all files showing and delete it.
