Windows 11 install has dual home directory structure

Hi all.

 

I built my new PC almost 2 months ago.  I installed Windows 11 in the normal "No thanks, I don't want any upsells" way that I always do.  No Office products, nothing.

 

Except I must have fallen for a misleading button somewhere along the way, because I'm realizing that my User folder is totally screwed up.  All the normal Desktop/Documents/Downloads etc links in File Explorer go to 

C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\[library name]

 

I don't use OneDrive, I don't want to use it, and if it actually backed up all the files on my desktop I would be paying an ungodly amount of money for storage.

 

How do I change this so everything is directly under my C:\Users\myname directory?  I keep writing code in the OneDrive desktop folder and then getting confused why it isn't working, only to realize that my terminal is on the normal directory and my workspace opened under OneDrive 😵‍💫
