Change Desktop location from OneDrive to normal location
W11, 24H2, Lenovo Thinkpad, just set it up this week.
I just now noticed that the location of my desktop is {USER}\OneDrive\Desktop. I had already deleted OneDrive from my Apps, but I guess that was the default when I booted/setup.
I would like to move it to {USER}\Desktop, and delete the OD folder. I created a new Desktop folder, put a text file in it, and it did NOT show up on the desktop. So it seems I need to do more to actually have Windows recognize a new Desktop folder.
Ideas? Reminder that I no longer have OneDrive as an active app.
Click Select Folder to confirm the new location.
Back in the Properties window, click OK, and then you'll be prompted to either move all the files from the old location to the new one or keep them there. Choose according to your preference (if you want to keep them, select "No; do not move files").
