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.

What is the value of the Personal Key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders ? For me it's C:\Users\HarmVeenstra\OneDrive - NEXXT\Documents

Looks like your last instruction was pure gold!

I corrected the spelling mistake in some of the entries in

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Rebooted and finally.....

At last.

Thanks very much for your advice.

All the paths should be pointing to your homefolder (c:\users\daniel) if that's your user. Copy/Paste or move the Documents folder contents there...
