  2. This PC leads to the OneDrive folder.

    The folders the you see on This PC are linked to your
    OneDrive
    account, therefore when you open the folder or file, the path automatically routes to OneDrive. To prevent this from happening, we suggest that you unlink your
    OneDrive account by following the steps provided in the previous post. Once you're done, you can then sign back in and change the path of your
    OneDrive folder.

    NOTE: OneDrive can sync only with folders on a drive formatted with the NTFS file system, which is most commonly a hard disk drive on your computer, or an external hard disk drive. Portable storage, such as USB flash drives
    or solid state memory drives, use a different file system and won't sync with OneDrive.


    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  3. This PC leads to the OneDrive folder.

    Hi Lance,

    There are different factors as to why the default location of the documents and pictures folder on your computer is defaulting to OneDrive. One possible reason is that you setup OneDrive as the default save location of your files. For us to resolve your
    concern, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer and from the left-hand panel select the
      Documents
      folder from the list.
    • After selecting the Documents folder, right click on it and select
      properties from the list.
    • Select the Location tab, and click on the Restore Default button. (see screenshot below)

    • Select OK and if prompted to create a folder at the default location, click on
      Yes.
    • If you get a prompt to move all files from the old location to the new default location, click on
      Yes.

    Once complete the folder properties windows will close by itself and folder should not be using the default location. Take note that these steps apply to the different folder in your computer.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

    OneDrive adding folders to Library

    I found a workaround for this problem. You can use a tool to automatically delete the OneDrive folders from your libraries every time you log on to your PC.

    Here are step-by-step instructions:

    Step 1. Go to Windows Libraries Command-Line Tools - The Grim Admin and download the tool

    Step 2. Extract the downloaded .zip folder, open the "ShLib" folder and move the file "ShLib.exe" to %userprofile%

    Step 3. Press the Windows key and type "Task Scheduler", press Enter

    Step 4. In the Task Scheduler application, select "Create Basic Task" on the right

    Step 5. Enter any name for the task and click Next

    Step 6. Select "When I log on" and click Next

    Step 7. Select "Start a program" and click Next

    Step 8. Under "Program/script", enter the path of the "ShLib.exe" file you downloaded

    Step 9. Under "Add arguments", enter the following:

    remove "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\Music.library-ms" "%userprofile%OneDrive\Music"

    (this will remove the OneDrive folder from your Music Library)

    Step 10. Click Next, then select "Open the properties dialogue for this task when I click Finish" at the bottom, then click Finish

    Step 11. In the Properties window, go to the "Triggers" tab

    Step 12. Select the "At log on" trigger and click Edit at the bottom

    Step 13. Check "Delay task for" and enter "1 minute", then click OK

    Step 14. In the Properties window, go to the "Actions" tab

    Step 15. Click "New" at the bottom

    Step 16. Under "Program/script", enter the path of the "ShLib.exe" file you downloaded

    Step 17. Under "Add arguments", enter the following:

    remove "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\Pictures.library-ms" "%userprofile%OneDrive\Pictures"

    (this will remove the OneDrive folder from your Pictures Library)

    Step 18. Click OK

    Step 19. Click "New" at the bottom

    Step 20. Under "Program/script", enter the path of the "ShLib.exe" file you downloaded

    Step 21. Under "Add arguments", enter the following:

    remove "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\Documents.library-ms" "%userprofile%OneDrive\Documents"

    (this will remove the OneDrive folder from your Documents Library)

    Step 22. Click OK, then OK again, and you're done!
