    How can I replace my documents folder from my hard drive with my one drive documents folder?


    I updated my sims 4 game and somehow accidentally switched where my documents folder was. Now it is showing a one drive documents folder with none of my information and saves in it. basically, it reverted my process of mk-linking my documents folder to my hard drive.

  2. Documents Folder is in OneDrive instead of on Hard Drive

    I have an issue that I think is being caused by the simple fact that my documents folder is in OneDrive instead of on my computer's hard drive. I don't want OneDrive and I don't know how this happened because everything (in my opinion) should default to
    save on the hard drive and not something that requires internet access. How do I get my documents folder to be ONLY on my computer's hard drive and not on OneDrive?

  3. Redirected my Documents folder to root of a hard drive, can't revert

    Hello,

    In an effort to save the space on my SSD, I started redirecting the "This PC" folders to equivalent spots on my Hard Drive. In the process, I accidentally redirected the Documents folder to the root of the hard drive. I am so far unable to revert this or
    change it to the proper spot on that hard drive. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
