You can turn off OneDrive from automatically syncing your documents and pictures Turn On or Off OneDrive Folder Backup Syncing Across Windows 11 Devices Tutorial
You can open OneDrive and copy the files back to your default directory (ie) Pictures, Documents etc.
If you don't want to use OneDrive, my preference, You can disable it Enable or Disable OneDrive in Windows 11 Tutorial

Let's take it one step at a time.
Click the Yellow folder in the Taskbar, File (Windows) Explorer.
Go to C:\Users\[username]
Open up OneDrive folder. You should have folders just like under your [username] folder (ie) Pictures, Documents etc.
Open up the OneDrive Pictures folder. Select all the files, and copy and paste or drag and drop them into the [username] Pictures folder.
Do this for any other files you want to restore to you [username] folder, like Documents, Downloads etc
Once you have copied or drag and dropped all of the files tat 'are all over the place'
You can choose to Disable OneDrive automatically syncing and moving your files
