    How do I unpoint Desktop from OneDrive?


    I just got a new PC and now my new Desktop is pointed to OneDrive. If I try to deselect it in the Choose Folders setting, it brings up the following error message: "The folder you tried to unselect is the Windows Desktop folder, which is an important folder in Windows and is currently pointed to OneDrive."


    How do I unpoint my desktop from OneDrive and put it back where it belongs on my C drive?

    :)
