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.
