Desktop files only go to OneDrive

I am migrating to new computer with Win 11 and finally got Onedrive out of my life except trying to put items on the desktop as they were on Win 10 machine puts them in User/Curt/Onedrive. Can I stop that and do I really need to. I prefer not to even see onedrive appear on my computer anywhere.

    Right-click on your desktop, select "View" > "View settings," and then uncheck the box next to "Save files to OneDrive." This will save your desktop files to the local computer instead of OneDrive.

      I am unable to stop saving files to One Drive.  Options are not there to remove or uncheck.  Also, when I save my files, they are no where to be found.
