Why does my Documents look so different between Windows 10 and PowerShell?
Thank you, for your response. I'll answer your question as best I can.
I brought up File Explorer, then went to C:\Users folder. It shows me this:
The three folder rodf, rodat and broke, make sense and are consistent to me. The first one is my account, the one I'm using at the moment while writing this reply. RodAt is associated with a different Microsoft account that I have. The third, Broke, is my youngest daughter's Microsoft account.
I've just right-mouse button clicked on rodf. Surprisingly it reports that there's 34.7 GB of data (size on disk is 9.15 GB - I don't get why there's a discrepancy, but moving on), that there's 59,397 files in 10,383 folders.
I got into the rodf folder, which shows this:
But going into the Documents folderI still only see the three folders I reported earlier today, IISExpress, My Web Sites and My%20PowerShell%20Scripts.
Now to add to the confusion, if I right-mouse button click on the Documents under Quick Access in File Explorer, it reports it being located at C:\Users\rodf\OneDrive
Huh?
Have you check the link about OneDrive which I shared earlier.
I believe these files are in the OneDrive cloud and you should create them offline, take a look at:
