I want to set my OneDrive folder to be on a different disk device (D:). Ideally, it should appear as D:/OneDrive, with everything inside this folder. But, after moving it, I now get this ugly situation:

enter image description here

Why am I getting a second OneDrive folder within the first, and Personal Vault (which I never use) is in the top level folder? How do I fix this?

  • Are you synchronizing your Desktop to OneDrive? Please edit to include this vital information. Is there anything contained in this inner OneDrive directory?

  • @Ramhound do you mean the back up of Desktop, Documents, etc that it asks when you set up OneDrive? If so, no I don't. All of my files are contained in the inner directory. I want to have everything in D:/OneDrive, not D:/OneDrive/OneDrive. This was how it was when it resided in my user folder.

  • When selecting which folder to use for onedrive, select the root (D:) instead of D:\Onedrive

  • @Gantendo I have already tried this, it gives the same result. I even tried just letting it go to it's default location in my user folder. It still does this two level nonsense even there, where it didn't before.

This is not really an answer, because for the life of me I still don't know how it happened, but all of my files were also under a second-level OneDrive folder in the cloud as well. Moving the files up one level and deleting the rogue OneDrive folder from onedrive.com fixed it.
