    Why is OneDrive backup moving files from another computer and placing them on my desktop?


    OneDrive popped up asking me to back up files. I said okay, thinking it would work just like before. Now, I am starting to see files that were on my laptop appearing on the desktop of my tower, and also, some of the files appear to be incomplete or duplicates. I never checked anything saying it was okay to move files between machines, and now it's a mess. What is going on and how do I make this stop?This computer is running Windows 10. So is the laptop it seems to be moving files from.

    :)
