I want to move the desktop custom program icons, documents and pictures out of Onedrive and back into the original location. I disabled Onedrive and thought they would automatically move back.

Also I click on search box to use winver and get no search box for windows, some bing thing comes up.

If you want to move the custom program icons etc
1. right click the icon;
2. select 'properties';
3. select 'location'; and then

click 'restore default' to reset it to the Windows default location
OR
click 'move' to set it to your preferred location

This is what I see when I go into properties in OneDrive. The location is shown but there is no option to change it.
