OneDrive sync problem

[tlustymen]

I would like to use my OneDrive specifically and only for screenshots - what I mean by that is that I don't want any stupid syncronization of desktop files and documents etc. and I only want screenshots to save to a folder on OneDrive and give me the notification on the bottom right. The problem is that whenever I try to remove the redundant folders OneDrive just simply deletes them on my pc. Like wtf? How can I make One drive stop syncing those files and folders on my pc without actually deleting them? Thank you

They have to exist locally on your computer before they sync to Onedrive.  You can remove the sync with your desktop and everything, but in order for files to auto-upload to onedrive, you need a designated folder first on your pc (OneDrive isn't just a network folder you can push source files to, it wants the real folder first as it doesn't give you just a remote-only folder access).

I don't have a problem with saving screenshots, but with OneDrive saving documents and picture folders I didn't choose. I just find out (correct me if I'm wrong) OneDrive basically makes cloud the default location for all the synced documents. Tbh saving a few screenshoty isn't worth all this trouble - few minutes ago I accidentally deleted all my documents OneDrive is stupid.
