How to show C:\Desktop as the only Desktop , NO OneDrive ?
Greetings : How to show C:\Desktop as the only Desktop , NO OneDrive ? OneDrive is very confusing to me , It's Desktop shows gazillions of Folder ShortCuts . I have UnLinked OneDrive , but noth...
I do not have Desktop listed under my C drive. Now what?
I know what you are referring to. The problem is that Microsoft MOVED IT to the OneDrive. What you need to do is to find it on OneDrive, then MOVE it to your machine. The destination path will look something like this
C:\Users\specific profile name
Restart your machine, and then everything should look like what you are accustomed to. I wish that I could give you more specific steps. But I did it about two weeks ago, got it right the first time, did not write down each step, and have since forgotten the specifics.
The following video will give good instructions on how to permanently disable OneDrive. Good luck.

- THanks
I uninstalled and keep deleting
C:\Users\vmars\OneDrive Folder
But it just adds it again .
Still , what can I do ?
ThanksAnd it will continue to do that ad infinitum. Because the software is written that way. If it doesn't see a folder, it recreates it. Deleting the drive isn't the answer. Moving it is. After you move it, please refer to the links I provided for the proper way to unlink OneDrive. Best of luck, and I hope that helps.vmars316
