Thank you!! Out of all the videos I’ve watched you were the ONLY one to solve my sims 4 game. I was able to change the location from my hard drive to external drive with ability to play my mods. Months of frustration to a simple 1-3 clicks and done. THANK YOU!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment! Hit the like button!
I want say. Same thankyou to you 🥳
Omg Thank you so much. Had my drive for 6 months and tried everything. This made my day. Def have my follow
Same! I just spent my New Year trying to figure out how to get my files transferred for my sims game! This video literally was the last piece to the puzzle, and I can play my game on my hard drive with no issues. Thank you so much!
So frustrating that there's not an easy option to move default location as before. Thank you for all the effort you make to get this done.
Man you are an absolute saint, spent the better part of 3-4hours tinkering with this stuff even preforming a system restore that further borked my Desktop, but just disabling the syncing in the Manage Folder Backup worked like a charm and found no websites suggesting it for this issue. Thanks!
You are welcome! and thanks dude! be sure to share this video for me on those websites so people can find my video!! thanks man!!!!👍👍
Saw another comment about it as well, I was getting the same error for moving my documents for my Sims 4 and could not figure out why. Your video is the one that came in clutch! Big thanks!
Glad I could help!
I'm also doing that, did you delete the old documents folder cuz mine is still there
@@animegeneration9639 This was some time ago, from what I can remember- my documents folder was converted into an average folder called "documents". Don't entirely remember much from that considering now I have a new PC and have not explored the sims on it yet.
But I replicated the process for a few of the other major folders as well. And the same result happened. My videos, folder and pictures folder ended up having the same effect as the documents one. They would be converted into just average folders. If my memory jogs me correctly, they were placed into the pinned folders as if they were the original folders and had never moved, but I remember I guess deleting them because I did not have them anymore.
So yes, I guess I deleted it. OH WAIT! I I remember now. I backed up the folder after I changed it. Because I was unsure if everything would work since it was my first time using it. So yes, I deleted the folder but I also had backups of it just in case anything went wrong. That is probably why I do not remember removing anything because I used to save everything.
It won't let me do the same for the documents folder, though. I've stopped backing it up to OneDrive but when I ctrl x it then ctrl v into my user folder in the C drive, it says that it cannot move it since the folder or a file in it is open in another program. When I right-click the documents folder (in the OneDrive folder) and go to properties, it doesn't have a "location" section, so I can't restore to default location. What do I do? Thank you!
I got the same problem. Found a solution?
@joshuajoseph6278 Yep I fixed it but I honestly don't remember how. I think I went to the "location" tab in the properties of the documents folder in the user folder in the c drive (not the one in the OneDrive folder) and restored to default and then copy pasted the stuff in the documents folder in the OneDrive folder to the one in the user folder
Me too
@@cloud_222can you explain this again 😭😭 I’m so confused
@@cloud_222when I press the restore default the error still pops up
When I changed the location, the documents folder was saved as a one-drive shortcut. I'm not sure how to fix this.
Same
i had to manually drag and drop bits and pieces of the files from the shortcut into the new (old in my case) location as well as completely uninstall and reinstall steam (it still technically restored the default location but for some reason decided to not move the files) i then permanently unlinked one drive from my pc because FUCK THAT SHIT
Thank you so much. I just bought a new computer and not only am I trying to get things onto that computer from the old one. I'm new to Windows 11 so I have a double whammy on this business. I just don't know what I would do without people like you on RUclips and people like you on Google. So many of these things are just a one-time shot and if it wasn't written somewhere I'd never remember. But thanks again!.
Welcome!!

I don't get that menu for OneDrive...I get a normal Windows looking setting and can't find a "Sync and Backup" section
Thanks! I found that I needed to restart my PC after turning off the backups, soI could see the "location" tab
Awesome!! Appreciate the comment! Hit the like button!
I was having the same issue, thanks!
This happened to me when I reinstalled windows 10 and can confirm that this also works on W10 for anyone wondering, thanks for the tutorial man
You're welcome. I'm glad the video helped you out.
Thanks! The only adder for me was I needed to reboot after I changed the setting. None-the-less, I finally got the changes done thanks to the info you provided here. Many thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for your help. As others, I spend an hour trying to do this which I did change years ago. Your instructions was easy to understand and make the changes.
Glad it helped!! Share the video if you can!! It helps out my channel so I can keep uploading helpful tech videos! Thanks!
Not being able to move the location of the Picture folder was driving me crazy. Thank you very much! Great instructions.
Thank you! I spent the better part of the day trying to resolve this. Reinstalling one drive after removing it can be a bit flakey, but can confirm that this works once you get that to work properly.
Thank you very much. Please share as many of my videos as you can. It helps my channel out so I can keep creating awesome tech videos for everyone.
I still can't relocate my documents. I've followed this video to the letter, and OneDrive absolutely refuses to release my Documents folder. I hate it so much!
Took me forever to fix it since i literally ripped onedrive out of the registry and tried everything to even breaking my documents folder way back when i first got the newer pc this past year. After following your guide was able to resolve it. I am so sick of these companies trying to force all this on us when most dont want to spend the money nor use their services cause we pay for other ones or dont care bout it.
Thanks, this was helpful! I told it to resume backing up Pictures and then to stop it again, and things are working correctly now.
You're welcome!
This is the easiest solution and it just works! Nice job and thank you!

Hey this is amazing, because I've looked at thousands of tutorials and websites and they were all BS hahah!!
I've followed all of the steps carefully and they have all turned out well, just one thing is.... even though I have done this, for some reason its made an automatic kind of file saying "Shortcut to Documents (OneDrive-Pers..." as the pathway from the documents folder we made, that is now the documents folder, to get into the documents folder.
IDK if that made sense at all, but like I've moved the documents folder to my hard drive all safely and correct, but then when I clock into the docs folder inside my hard drive, it brings up the one drive short cut, so I click in that, and then I am in my docs folder?
Is there a way for it not to still be connected to my one drive?
because even when I unlink my one drive after that, it wont even show me the contents in the folder, because I have had to click docs and click into that one drive short cut to get into it, even though I stopped backing them up at the start.
PLEASE HELP!! or is it a me issue lol
So I think I know what your saying so at 4:07 on my video I went into microsoftone drive and into Manage folder backup, so in there you have to click on the documents one also and choose Stop Backup like I did for the pictures one, then reboot you PC and try and fix the documents folder that way because you should be able to get rid of that shortcut icon and just use the default documents main folder, I think that's what you mean, I hope this helps some, but you might have to link onedrive again like from the beginning so you can go in and make the changes and then you can just unlink it when your all done again, just remember to reboot your PC after making changes so the changes can take effect
@@jamiewagnerI’m having the same problem and I did what u said but the problem is the documentst turns into a normal folder in my one drive rather then it being the paper logo it like creates the second folder file with all my stuff in it and then the document folder that I move to my hard drive is just a short cut to the actual document folder in my one drive idk if I made any sense
You are a life saver fam! Thank you!

I followed the instructions of another youtube poster and unlinked my win 11 pc then uninstalled the program, however I also wanted to change the user folder storage locations to a separate D:\ drive but when it comes to moving the docs or pics folder location I get "can't move folder because there is folder in the same location that can't be redirected access denied" these 2 files still have One drive in there pathway? should I reinstall one drive to carry out your instructions?
I wish I'd seen this before having deleted the Onedrive...What do you suggest now? Even having deleted the folder one drive is still there and so are the desktop, pictures, and documents... what should I do? re-install one drive?
yes you can reinstall one drive that's what I would do then you can do this video and it should help
@@jamiewagner thanks for replying! I will try and let you know.
@@monikabarbosa7473did it work
I did this but now it didn't transfer all my pictures files over to the new drive it just added a couple onedrive shortcuts into the new pictures folder on my other drive
Thank you so much for this video, I had the same issue with my documents folder, they really need to get rid of OneDrive hijacking your personal folders or anything for that matter that restricts you like this over your own f'n files, I absolutely HATE OneDrive 🤬and wish it was never ever existed and needs to be an option not this BS where it takes control over your information on a non-operating systems drive
Welcome!! please be sure to hit the share button on this video that really helps out my channel so I can keep creating helpful content for everyone!
Clicking on stop backup will delete all the data that hasn't been backed up. Just lost all of mine, save yours.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone
can concur, I recently lost the contents of Documents and Pictures after unchecking Backup. this happened to me after doing a Laplink PCMover session to a new laptop, where the old one had local Doc & Pic folders.
I stupidly ignored all the warnings PCMover game me about this before starting the transfer :). it's smart enough to know that it'll be moving files to OneDrive directories. they give one the option of making a local folder instead.
I feel like I tried to do this and didn't work, but now it did after following your tutorial, I must've missed somethinig myself. Thanks a lot though!
Glad I could help!
Thank you! This was driving me nuts!
Welcome ✌please share this video it helps my channel out so I can keep creating helpful content for everyone!
Can anyone help me! at 4:25 i dont see tab location even i restarted pc :(
same here
Thank you very much Sir. One drive is really annoying as hell.
YEAH I agree with you!! it sure is! please share this video if you can it helps out my channel so I can keep creating helpful content for everyone!
Unfortunately this does not seem to work on Win 10 Documents, when I turn OFF backup as shown, the view location option is no longer visible. I REALLY hate what Onedrive does, I did not give it the right to hijack my folders, backup yes, hijack so I have no control NO!
as others have mentioned, my documents has now turned into "Shortcut to Documents (OneDrive - Personal)". no clue how to fix this, restarted 2 times and nothings changed so..
Did you fix it? I'm confused. Looks like I have no choice but to pay 2 dollars. I'm trying to do something and one drove keeps messing it up!!!!
You need to find your documents root folder. It's still there trust me you just need to find it. I'm not sure what exactly you did so it's hard to tell you exactly what to do
I had a slightly different problem than this This is how it happened, I went into my pictures properties, to location tab, when changing it, it went back to previous parent folder, where my default user profiles were saved, I thought pictures would be saved with these folders, little did I know, it made my user profile my pictures folder and now I have searched the whole internet trying to find a solution but can't. Now my pictures and user profile folder which you access by going into C/Users/Administrator, are both the same. By user profile i mean administrator.
Do you have any solution for this problem?
Sorry for late response and I’m not sure about that one, you might need to go on your user account and make the default again to get back to default settings
Thanks a lot, the helped me with a very bad Documents folder pointing to OneDrive

omg help! I somehow made my documents default to a onedrive personal shortcut. I don't want that in case it's not good to have, but how do i change it? I tried to restore to default with the documents folder, but it still lives under a onedrive shortcut.
Thanks a ton! Saved my day!! Microsoft never ceases annoying us with these stupid integrations that only make us lose time.

Hi, I hope that you'll read this. I'm struggling with my Downloads folder. I accidentally moved it on my HDD or D. I can't seem to find it anymore. And cannot revert back to the original folder. No it's all messed up on my D folder. What should I do to restore it to C drive.
Thank you so much man, i just restarted my computer because my storage is really messed up (my fault for only putting in a 260gb drive when I first built it) and I was sorting my storage onto other drives I now have in it and I was getting that error message
Welcome dude!
I unlinked and uninstalled onedrive, am getting this error, but cannot for the life of me reinstall onedrive to be able to do what you're showing her. Any idea how to get onedrive back?
got the same issue lmao, you ever fix it?
@@HolyCrusaderGrim no, I wasn’t able to. Despite onedrive’s persistence in reminding me it is there, it wants me to PAY to redownload it. Sigh. I just gave up. *%^+ windows 11. lol

I can't see the location tab somehow after doing it, everytime i click on it, the location tab is gone :(
You need to click on the original folder and not the shortcut.
once Ive changed the location of pictures/documents or what have you and copied the files to the folder I wish to use can I delete everything from the old location with no negative effects? I'm asking cause the whole reason I'm here is to get crap other than the OS off my C drive.
great thanks! after unchecking backup, documents and pictures wend back to the normal C:\users\sjoerd\ folder. great thanks problem solved .
You're welcome!
I don't even have onedrive installed (I uninstalled it as soon as I installed win11), so why the hell this trashy buggy OS won't allow me to move the folder?. There is nothing using it, the folder is literally empty (I already moved all the content that It had). Wtf windows

How do you fix this with the documents folder on Windows 10?
In my case is the videos folder but is not backed up on one drive
When I tried this with my documents (because I had way too many things and I wanted to put them on another disk), it told me that I have deleted 492 files, which kinda scared me so I asked it to re-back up my files but now it tells me that I don't have enough space and that I'm 168% over the limit? Which makes me wonder how was it handling all the documents before if its too much now? Also it doesn't let me back up the "my documents" folder again. Did I do something wrong in the process? Where are all my files in my documents? Need help thank you
Like you said how the heck was it working before but now it's telling you something different? I think they just want to get people to pay for more storage and I feel like it's pushed on us, for your situation it sounds like your documents are still backed up but your just gonna have to figure out that storage issue to restore restore them, not sure what's up with that, I would have to look into it more and for you to get your storage back you may need to clean up your system and safely delete unwanted things so you can have enough storage to restore them, your right it's weird that it would do that after they were already on there, like why did the storage change so much?
@@jamiewagner I partially understood what happened, basically the deleted files I believe were only the backups and not the main files so they're still all here, but that doesn't explain the fact that I still can't back up altough it was already backed up before. Also, all my document files are now located in a different "my documents" folder than the main one on the disk, which makes it impossible to change the location of them. All of that is pretty weird 🤔

Mine wasn’t connected to one drive and it’s still not working
The moment I stop the monitoring from onedrive the option for MOVE location is gone from the folder
You need to click on the main root folder of that folder to find it. I know what your saying because it did that to me
Thank you!!
You're welcome! thanks for being a subscriber!
The thing is it wont let me move it, like it doesnt have a location
Make sure to right click on the main folder not a shortcut one like for example the actual main documents or music or pictures folder
The location option is missing from the documents when i click properties. And worse i cant get into the settings for one drive, there is no little one drive icon in the bottom right to right click on... Tried settings in one drive itself but get no options to stop the sinking of the documents folder. I just want to change the documents folder out of one drive. Ive done everything i possibly can think to do, ive been trying for over two months now. I feel broken and hopeless. Please can amyone help me.. please i dont know whay else to do
The fix involved reinstalling OneDrive???
you could try it that but it will probably want to do the same thing again causing the same problem
This didnt excatly work for me but thanks to ur tiutorial I was able to open tht up and just unlink onedrive as a whole
