Unable to move Pictures and Documents folder from OneDrive.

ShemBane

I have recently installed Windows 11 Pro and after getting things set up, I deleted OneDrive completely off my computer. I then proceeded to start changing the locations of the Desktop, Videos, Pictures and Documents folders back to the default directory and I managed to change the Desktop and Videos folders (As seen in the image below):

But when I went to move my Pictures and Documents folder (By using the "Restore Default" button in the location tab of the folder properties), I got this error:

(For context, there is no other Documents or Pictures folder within my "User" folder.) 

 

I have already tried reinstalling OneDrive and unlinking it from the computer but that didn't seem to do anything.

Is there anything that can be done about this? 

 

My Windows version: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.1555

If you reinstall OneDrive, it it trying to backup those directories? I'd install it again and tell it to stop "backing up" those folders and try to take control of them while OneDrive is still installed.
