One drive problems Windows 11

[king1]

yes onedrive is a bit like that...

first thing I usually do is go into the onedrive settings and under advanced I think it is, you need to turn off the space saving option (the keep all your files online instead of on your own device option). This will tell onedrive to download all your files to you device and keep them on your device...

Then under account settings you should unlink the PC

Then you sometimes need to move your files back from the c:\users\xxx\ondrive folder, into the respective folders in c:\users\xxx

The you sometimes need to fix the broken shortcuts and links. Which can actually be a bit painful...
All depends how badly it has screwed things up...

Not a fan of onedrive for this reason, and the way it seems to give itself permission to do this to you when you sign in with an MS account...
