Moving files out of unlinked, unsynced and disabled onedrive

Hi Judy, before moving anything, make sure the files are actually stored locally and not just placeholders. In File Explorer, right-click the important OneDrive-backed folders and choose “Always keep on this device,” then copy them to D:\Documents and confirm the copied files open. Once you know the files are safe locally, you can change the Documents folder location or fully unlink OneDrive more confidently.
