I recently got a new laptop and I'm not sure how windows 11 works. I noticed that my documents folder was just my OneDrive, which i don't want.
When i tried to redirect it to the main storage, i get:
I'm not sure how to get it to work.
I don't want to unlink my onedrive completely because i use it often to transfer files.

Hi. I'm Brian and I will do my best to help you.
Go into the Settings on OneDrive, select the Backup tab and uncheck Documents (and Desktop and Pictures if you wish) and those folders should get moved back to their position under C:\Users<youraccount>, unless you've manually created folders of the same name, which is not the correct approach.

"How do I go into settings on OneDrive. Where do I click?"
I want to know why in the world would microsoft do this????
Why would one buy 2TB of hard drive and microsoft would assume that they would want to sync to onedrive without asking them??
I did all the steps to stop syncing it to onedrive and the damn thing goes back to it. Microsoft.... a feedback regarding this. If this issue is not fixed soon I will switch to linux distribution. Free, better privacy and no assumptions on their part.
I don't have "Location Tab"
I had unlinked One Drive when I first got my computer so I'm surprised when Outlook said my storage is full. I went to settings in One Drive and there is no Backup tab.
