The system still lists one drive as a file path because you disabled and unlinked it, but it remains visible. Your PC name differs from the path because the display settings or user profile might be using your full name instead of your nickname.

Discover hidden directories using "dir /a". See the version without the "/a" flag. It displays not just hidden folders but also the NTFS junction point for certain locations. On Windows, some system areas appear in a more user-friendly format—especially when files like Documents or Desktop might have been renamed internationally or are temporarily relocated. For example, Onedrive files get mirrored locally when needed. You can also rename a user's name while keeping their username and home directory intact using the whoami command. The actual path to the user remains stored under %Userprofile%.

Windows sets up the "OneDrive" directory automatically. It’s included by default, so this folder appears without further action. Disconnecting OneDrive simply halts cloud synchronization of files. You might still need to reconfigure redirected paths like Documents/Pictures/Desktop to point back to your home directory. The naming convention is correct—Windows creates a personal folder for each user in C:\Users\username. This setup reflects your identity, as confirmed by the command prompt output "whoami".
