  1. Unable to change my documents folder from C:\Users\ade_b\OneDrive to D:\documents


    I'm trying to change my documents folder from C:\Users\ade_b\OneDrive to D:\documents just get me an error message. The message says "can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be relocated. Access denied".

    The trouble is I can seen no folder and I get the error message whether I try to move files or not. I have the same problem with the pictures folder which is also empty. I would also like to get rid of any access to the OneDrive. This is a new pc

    :)

    retargeting Document folder under This PC to C:\User\Julie\Documents from C:\User\Julie\Onedrive\Documents

    I have a new PC. It has been set up with OneDrive. I don't want it. I uninstalled it but the documents folder under This PC is still OneDrive\documents. I can not point it to a new location. I want the document folder to be C:\User\Julie\Documents NOT
    C:\User\Julie\Onedrive\Documents

  3. Missing C:\users\Documents folder

    For some time now I have been unable to see the Windows "Documents" folder on C:\users. All I see is the C:\users\OneDrive\Documents folder.

    Does OneDirve somehow interact with the Windows Documents folder and somehow combine them? I can't imagine that to be the case since Memory on OneDrive is proprietary, available for a fee, which is why I tend to avoid putting everything on OneDrive, even
    though I have more than enough memory on my OneDrive account.

    Can the Windows Documents folder get hidden somehow, or even erased?

  4. Unable to change my documents folder from C:\Users\ade_b\OneDrive to D:\documents

    Document Library hijacked by OneDrive after update

    This issue may be due to an incorrect location target. To correct this, kindly follow these steps:

    • Right click the Documents folder where OneDrive files are showing.
    • Select Properties, and then Location. Yours might look like this:
      C:\Users\Your username\OneDrive\Documents.
    • If this is the case, you will need to create a new folder, select all the OneDrive files in the
      Documents folder, and then change its location to transfer it to the created folder.
    • After emptying the Documents folder, right click it and change the location to:
      C:\Users\Your username\Documents.

    Feel free to post back should you need any help with Windows.
