After removing one drive and deleting the folder, I also cleared the folder to make it unused. I updated my File Explorer quick access to include all folders under c/user/profile/desktop, such as c/user/profile/download. I still see my actual desktop as c/user/name/onedrive/desktop, and files saved there appear only in the folder through File Explorer. I’m trying to figure out how to adjust my actual desktop to match c/user/profile/desktop. Please let me know.

Open the Registry Editor ("Regedit" in Start search), then navigate to the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders". On the entry labeled "Desktop", modify it to "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop". Restart the computer.

Thank you for your message. I understand you'd like to apply the same action to other folders inside the OneDrive folder, specifically setting the correct paths for Pictures and Documents.

It seems you're confirming the path is correct. The current setup directs to C:\Users\[username].
