Hello and welcome to the site,
Typically its going to rename your path from C:\Users\username\Desktop to example: C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop or alternatively c:\users\username\OneDrive - Company Name\Desktop
Do you have anything else in the folder path? What you can try to do is this (but it will disable syncing of those folders):
You can change the OneDrive folder path for your Desktop, Documents, etc back to the default in Windows by following these steps:
- Open the OneDrive app.
- Click on the More button (three dots) and select Settings.
- In the Account tab, click on the Choose folders button.
- In the Choose Folders dialog box, uncheck the box next to any folder that you want to move back to its default location.
- Click on the OK button to save your changes.
- Wait for the files to sync back to the default location.
- Go to your user folder, you should see the files back to the original location.
Keep in mind that the above steps may cause the loss of syncing for the folders you uncheck, and if you have files in them, you will need to copy them back manually.
If you have installed Windows 11, you may also have the option to stop syncing specific folders from the settings of the OneDrive app, instead of unchecking them.
