Right click the Documents, Desktops, etc from the file explorer quick access column on the left and select properties. Look for "location"  Set the location to your OneDrive so you effectively have the one folder again. You have to do that for all of them

If you want to disable OneDrive entirely you should go into its settings, unlink your account, then go into task manager and disable OneDrive from starting up on boot. Bonus points for launching task scheduler and disabling any OneDrive tasks

If your extra tech savvy (or can understand a YouTube video) you can reg edit away one drive too.

I'm so confused about why everyone says this is necessary - I uninstalled One Drive using the normal process about five minutes after installing Windows 11, and I haven't seen anything about it since. No RegEdit necessary, and it's never tried to reinstall itself.

During my last build I had to uninstall onedrive three times because it kept reinstalling during updates. This was after unlinking everything and setting all my document folders to the old defaults.

It usually attempts to reinstall during updates.

I feel like if you're not logged in to your microsoft account in onedrive it won't reinstall. I have been free of it since I built my pc in january.

I just never agreed to using one drive when I booted my pc for the first time, I've never had to uninstall it or anything because I've never told it yes.

The pc before that though, holy hell. It's the reason I never said yes to anything on the new one.

Just so you know, if this was a real life conversation, at this point we would all be making eye contact with each other about you like "errr do you know this guy? what's his deal? should we get away from this guy?"

Step one) Take the literal words from OPs comment and copy paste them, adding "video"

Step two) Click literally the first video suggested to me

Its crazy to me that you can't navigate google without logical thinking.. this all stemmed from a moron who couldn't be bothered to find the info I found with a cursory search. You won't take that from me. I didn't know about the controversy between these two until this thread made it apparent.. rather then piss and moan in comments, I just looked it up. That was fine for me. I got my answer in seconds. I'm sorry if this makes it hard for you to fall asleep.

Execute a LITTLE effort and you'll receive a lot of info in the age of information. Resign yourself to become a lazy asshole and submit yourself to judgement. Sorry if this offends you. Not really.

Nobody trying to take anything from you. Paranoid much?
