Windows 10: Trying to get off of Onedrive. Unlinked my account but all my local directories are...

I installed a new computer and discovered after restoring all my files from backup that they went to Onedrive. I don't want to use Onedrive. Set all the folders so they would be kept on my local disk - and they all were downloaded I see the green checkmark on everything. Then I unlinked my account from onedrive. All looks good.BUT when I go to back them up using file history this is in the event logirectory was not backed up because it is a reparse point:<filename> If you want it to be protected, remove the reparse point.Help!
