unable to create any type of file or folder in documents. could not find this item

Unable to create file or folder in Documents folder: 0x80070781

I am unable to create a file or folder in the Documents folder (C:\Users\...\OneDrive\Documents). "The name of the file cannot be resolved by the system". I am able to create files and folders in the OneDrive folder, just not the Documents subfolder. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Just a FYI: Those settings shoould be based off of %USERPROFILE% as I mentioned in my post.





If any are based off of %ONEDRIVE% then you have problems.
