How to remove the 'Documents' folder redirection from local computer ?

Question

Hi All,

How can I forcefully remove the redirected 'Documents' folder on my local PC ?
when I right-click on the My Documents folder | Properties, it still showing as \FileServer01-VM\Homes\First.LastName ?

I have confirmed the Group Policy that set the folder redirection has been filtered out with WMI and GPO permission.

I've also removed the GPO above from the OU, and then added this additional setting on the Group Policy for the OneDrive:

But still the Folder redirection persisting.

Hello @EnterpriseArchitect

In the Group Policy Management Console, go to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection. Right-click on one of the folders that shouldn’t be redirected and choose Properties.

In the Properties for each folder, set the Target Setting to “Basic” and the Target folder location to “Redirect to the local user profile location.”

Hope this resolves your Query!!
