For some reason certain folders in my file explorer (Pictures, Videos, Documents, etc) are all located on the Onedrive folder instead of using the versions in my Users folder.

When I try to change the location to the normal folders I'm met with this message.

Is there anyway to bypass this? Onedrive is completely embedded into my file explorer and I can't get rid of it.

It is because you have enabled OneDrive to backup these folders.

You'll need to disable that option first.

 

To disable OneDrive Backup of these folders, simply right-click on the OneDrive icon in the notification tray, next to the date and time, and pick Settings in the menu. A panel will open, in it, go to the "Auto Save" tab, and hit the button "Update Folders" under the "Protect your important folders" group. And from there you can remove them.
