Can't restore Documents folder to default location

AFTER deleting the OneDrive app (Office 2013) and making a copy of the contents to another drive I noticed that my documents are now actually saving in: ===>c:\users\admin\documents\onedrive\documents. Again, this is after I had deleted the OneDrive program and making a copy of the contents of My documents in the OneDrive cloud. I tried to move the documents and also restore to the default location at: ===> c:\users\admin\documents ... but when I try to do that, I get an error: "The folder can't be move here Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied." So how do I restore the Documents folder to each default location? I'd appreciate suggestions or a link to a solution. Thanks. EDIT: Never mind. Found a batch file which worked with the registry. Solved. Here's the solution: Restore Default Location of Personal Folders in Windows 10

 

Unable to restore default location of Documents.

I am using Windows 11 with OneDrive. OneDrive will not allow me restore default location of my documents folder. The only document folder that is available is the one listed in Users/Marc/OneDrive. When I try to restore default location through the properties dialog box, it asks if I want to create a documents folder, then I get the do you want to move all items which I agree to, but then I get an error message. The error message states the folder can't be moved. The full dialog is "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access is denied."

I have full control under security and there is no other document folder in Users/Marc/.

Any suggestions on how I can get the default document folder back and just use OneDrive backup so that it can be used strictly as a cloud backup for my document folder?

removing onedrive from default file/folder location .

1. Click the OneDrive icon in your System Tray.
2. Click the 'More' ellipsis at the bottom, then select 'Settings'
3. Click the 'Auto Save' tab, then the 'Update Folders' button
4. Turn off protection for all folders

This should restore the folders to their default location under your Profile folder. If not, use the 'Retore Default' button found on the
Location tab of each folder's Properties dialog.
