Windows 10: Stop Microsoft 10 from saving my files to "documents"

I have files stored on my D drive. Each file stores different types of documents. Each file has sub-files. It is all done in a outline format. Microsoft 10 keeps saving the files in "documents", along with everything I ever looked at on my D drive. It saves all my photos in "C" drive, even though the file or photo has not changed, instead of where I want them in "D" drive. As a result, things are duplicated in the "C" drive which then tells me it is getting full even though it is a very large drive. How do I make it stop doing this?? I am so frustrated by this!!!
