OneDrive shows how much Microsoft hates its users.

In File Explorer OneDrive looks like its own folder separate from your documents, desktop and picture folders. I have the OneDrive app uninstalled. I delete the OneDrive folder the other day because it seemed useless for me and this deleted every document and picture I had saved on my computer. Just completely deleted them, they're not even in the recycling bin. Whoever designed this should blue screen irl.

    If you delete the folder inside the OneDrive directory, it can sometimes delete the actual local copies of your synced files, especially if those folders have been redirected or linked as library locations.
