Fix a broken $Profie location
A couple of days ago I remove Documents from OneDrive which seems to have broken the "Oh my POSH" settings in my various terminals. PowerShell 7.4.2
PS C:\Dev> $home
C:\Users\daniel
PS C:...
Ah in my case I have C:\Users\daniel\OneDrive and also through syncing with the other laptop the C:\Users\danie\OneDrive ( I originally caused issue with my bad spelling lol.)
So do I correct all the ones with the incorrect spelling given I have corrected the issue with the profile name.
I was just wondering since you deleted the My Documents in your OneDrive... Did you have a backup of My Desktop, My Pictures, and My Documents configured? If you right-click your My Documents folder in Windows Explorer and select properties... What folder does the Location tab specify?
Good morning. No backup as yet which I will remedy shortly. I do appear to have lost the My Documents quick access although Downloads, Music, Pictures all seem ok.
You have got me thinking : open up the recycle bin as all my previous PowerShell modules are located at c:\daniel\OneDrive\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
Could these be the next steps:
- Restore these and back up this directory
- Re-add Documents to OneDrive
- Copy files over from backed up directory
- Check / amend the $Profile
- It seems like a plan to get things back to where they were and move on from there. But check the Known Folder Move /backup settings in the OneDrive client. Default is c:\users\username\documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules, but with Known Folder Move/backup settings enabled in OneDrive, they are in the OneDrive folder
- I am currently restoring Documents from the Recycle bin ... um there is quite a lot of files so it is taking a while. I have looked at the Settings/ backup and not seeing anything for the PS modules. However I do appear to be restoring lots of files from c:\users\username\documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules so I guess that is the indicator.
- It's not the modules listed there, but the My Documents, Pictures and Desktop. (It's all or nothing)
