How do I make the system put Documents, Videos, Music, Downloads,etc to an internal SATA drive
I have a C drive on SSD, and have a SATA internal drive (F) that I want to use to send Music, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos, for storage, automatically. Currently they go to:
"C:\Users\there\OneDrive\Documents"
I have no interest in using OneDrive, and frankly thought I had deleted it. Its like a bad penny, it keeps coming back.
I want to change to: F:\Documents and the same for all of the other.
Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I have no idea why the user name on the C drive is "there" instead of my name. "There" is the first 5 letters of my email address.

Hey TRS, here's the short and sweet fix:
Right-click each folder (Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) under This PC.
Go to Properties > Location tab.
Click Move, choose the folder on your F: drive (e.g., F:\Documents).
Click Apply, then Yes to move existing files.
Repeat for Downloads, Videos, etc.
To ditch OneDrive completely:
Right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar (if it's there), choose Settings > Account > Unlink this PC.
Then go to Settings > Apps, uninstall Microsoft OneDrive.
And about "there"—Windows grabs the first part of your email as the user
