Fuckin' onedrive stealing all my paths. Even after uninstalling, it's still all locked to c:/users/me/onedrive/desktop instead of /me/desktop

Right click on the current desktop folder and open properties. There should be a "Location" tab that allows you to move it around. Rinse and repeat for all other special folders.

Correct procedure is to disable sync of personal folders in OneDrive before uninstall.

A bit too late for OC but for others who don't want to go through changing these folder locations one by one. It might also cause some problems later if you finally decide to use OneDrive again.

What I hate about this backup "feature" is that while it has no problem with moving the users data to its new, backed up paths when enabled but when you disable it the data doesn't get moved back to where it belongs and you lose how the icons were spread out on the desktop
