No it is not new.
The EASIEST way...use a local account from the get-go and not get into the Onedrive trap..
The PROPER way if you set up a MS account but do not want to use 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.
Sign in - Microsoft OneDrive
3. You can then either uninstall Onedrive from your computer 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 and nagging you..
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.

5. You can also use option 1 in this tutorial to uninstall it. It will leave a few registry entries behind though.
