Onedrive Messing Up Folder Locations

Has anyone else here had this issue?

After installing Windows 10 or 11. Trying to move Pictures folder location to a second HDD. You get the error, “Can’t move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can’t be redirected”.

I went into Regedit to fix this. Redoing the addresses (defaults) mostly solved the issue.

I ended up blowing away Windows again, and reinstalling. Then, immediately unlinking Onedrive and removing it. This solved the problem.

I wish there was an option to opt-out of Onedrive during setup!
