I get this when I try to change ANY default folder—Documents, Pictures, etc.
I don't want the local folders mirrored, either. But alas, the cloud settings no longer look like you show here, either, so that's not turned off, but I get the same error if I say to copy the files or not.

Heck, the moving only solves half my issues. The cloud folder has a carrot, but none of the pinned items have carrots. So, not using the cloud-associated ones will still be a pain to work with.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry but your post does not give enough information for me to know exactly what you are tryng to do so I have to assume, from what you wrote, that you are referring to personal folders that have a default location of Onedrive rather than a default location under your personal user folder on C: drive. If that is correct and you want these folders back on your system drive here is the procedure:



Proper sequence of events to get rid of ONEDRIVE

You first have to turn off backup folder syncing. This tutorial tells you how and also how to get your files onto your local drive.

NOTE: ONLY IF FOLDERS DO NOT MOVE TO DEFAULT LOCATION IN STEP 1 ABOVE DO THIS

If this happens, then you could try option three in the tutorials below to restore the default folder location and move your files manually from Onedrive into the folders..

2. Then you have to unlink account & PC from onedrive.

Once you do this the files you have in onedrive will remain there until you login to Onedrive on the Web and delete them.
Microsoft OneDrive

3. You can then either uninstall Onedrive or disable it. I prefer to disable it. Open Task Manager>Startup Apps
Find Onedrive in the list and, right click on it, select disable. This prevents Onedrive from auto-starting.

4. If you want to uninstall it instead, the best way is to use Revo Uninstaller Freeware Portable. You’ll find Onedrive under the Windows Apps section. Be sure to scan for and delete any leftover files and registry entries Revo finds. Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download

5. You can also use option 1 in this tutorial to uninstall it. It will leave a few registry entries behind though. Uninstall and Reinstall OneDrive in Windows 11
