(2) Select View tab and click View Options at far right
(3) In folder options dialog box, select View Tab and check "Hide Protected Operating system files" and click OK.
(4) In (User) folder, delete all but the newest "desktop.ini" files.
(5) Check for any duplicate "One Drive" folders and delete all but the one that has your files and folders in it.
(6) Return to Folder Options and clear "Hide Protected system files" option and click OK.
I had an orphaned folder from a system rebuild that was installed with windows. I did a file restore with Acronis and it copied the backed up One Drive folder to the previous installation location on my D: drive, leaving the C:\Users\One Drive folder location in place. I should have moved my user folders to the D: drive FIRST, then run file restore..
