Changing the Default documents Folder

Question

Hello.

In my new PC my default documents folder is C:\Users\***\OneDrive\Documents and I would like to change it to just C:\Users\***\Documents as every app's document data is by default saved there and it slows down my connection when it uploads those files in the cloud. Some of the apps that their data is stored there is Adobe, Overwatch, Zoom. Anyway what I'm asking is if i can change the default path and if I want a document in the cloud i will move it myself.

Ok so messing around all the things you told me and also unlinking and relinking the one drive to the pc I succeeded somehow in making the normal documents now the default folder. Thanks for your help :)

You may want to manage the settings of your one drive to prevent it from being stored on that folder and here's a guide for it.

My recommendation now is to manage the settings and manually move the folders to your desired location for now.

yes if I do that the apps just see that files are missing and create a new folder there again. It seems that windows has as default documents folder the one drive one
