Windows 10: Get access denied error while reset it's path to the default location, how can i fix it?

I tried to use the folder properties to move my Downloads folder. Unfortunately, I when I tried to move it to the location I wanted it to be and it said "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access Denied", I then tried to reset it to the default location, but it is throwing an the same "Access Denied" error. Is there any way to get it fixed without rolling back my system to a previous date? Also, the Downloads folder is in a One Drive folder and I don't want it there if that helps.

Original title: Folder Redirection Error

So I created a data partition and used the folder properties to move my Downloads folder to it. Unfortunately, I moved it to the partition location instead of a folder within the partition. So I tried to move it to a folder within the partition and it said
the path was invalid. I then tried to reset it to the default location, but it is throwing an "Access Denied" error. Is there any way to get it fixed without rolling back my system to a previous date? Also, the original downloads file has disappeared, but
I can still download files to it and get to it by clicking the show in folder button or searching for the files in the explorer.

So this is wierd. Nothing changed, except that if I want to restore the default location, it now throws the same error window about merging with another system folder (like the one I think that I ignored when I first had this problem). Would moving it
regardless and then fixing the registry again fix it for good?

DId you log off & back on after editing?

Did you edit back to default paths?

Did you try to make the new downloads 'D:\Downloads'? If so, have you created the Downloads folder on D:\?

You may need to point it back to its default to regain access to D:\ to create the folder.
