Missing my "Documents" Folder after disabling One Drive

Question

I decided that I wanted to disable , or "Unlink" OneDrive on my Windows 11 PC. I had begun to have a hard time finding certain files that I had saved. I disabled my link to OneDrive and now my "Documents" folder no longer appears. Can someone give me an idea about how to reinstate this folder?

Answer 1

Files On-Demand may be enabled, so don't disable OneDrive until you make sure your files are locally available.

Hello Brian Reynolds,

I want you to open this Folder Path:

Open (This PC) --> Open (C: Drive) --> "Users Folder" --> Choose your username Folder --> You should have the (Documents Folder) their & (OneDrive - Documents) Folder.

Then,

Write Click on it --> Properties -- > Locations Tab --> Verify the Location Path

Best,

Is it missing from File Explorer>Home? How about in your Library?

If your Documents folder shows in your Library, you can pin it to Quick Access by right clicking on Documents.
