Windows 8.1 I went to Desktop folder and clicked on Properties -Location then Move and moved the Desktop folder to OneDrive. I did the same for the Pictures folder.

Then I noticed that all of a sudden my desktop in front of me was filled up with files and folders from my Pictures folder. I looked in OneDrive and saw that I had apparently moved the -contents- of the Desktop and Pictures folders to OneDrive, but I didn't move them into a Desktop and Pictures folder but rather into the root of the OneDrive.

Now, whatever files I add into the Desktop or Pictures folders end up in the root directory of the OneDrive. I can't move them back. What can I do (or should I just give up and reinstall Windows 8 again (then go through the whole upgrade process)? Yuck.

Thanks,

Michael

  • Re-point your Desktop to OneDrive\Desktop
  • Re-point your Pictures to OneDrive\Pictures

You'll have to figure out which files belong to their respective folders after you perform the re-points.
