Thank you!! Out of all the videos I’ve watched you were the ONLY one to solve my sims 4 game. I was able to change the location from my hard drive to external drive with ability to play my mods. Months of frustration to a simple 1-3 clicks and done. THANK YOU!

Man you are an absolute saint, spent the better part of 3-4hours tinkering with this stuff even preforming a system restore that further borked my Desktop, but just disabling the syncing in the Manage Folder Backup worked like a charm and found no websites suggesting it for this issue. Thanks!

Saw another comment about it as well, I was getting the same error for moving my documents for my Sims 4 and could not figure out why. Your video is the one that came in clutch! Big thanks!

Thank you so much. I just bought a new computer and not only am I trying to get things onto that computer from the old one. I'm new to Windows 11 so I have a double whammy on this business. I just don't know what I would do without people like you on YouTube and people like you on Google. So many of these things are just a one-time shot and if it wasn't written somewhere I'd never remember. But thanks again!.

When I changed the location, the documents folder was saved as a one-drive shortcut. I'm not sure how to fix this.

[michaelalippold]

Thank you! Been struggling to do this and you are the first person to actually give the correct steps and it doesn't take forever!

[joezano]

Thanks! The only adder for me was I needed to reboot after I changed the setting. None-the-less, I finally got the changes done thanks to the info you provided here. Many thanks!

Thank you! I spent the better part of the day trying to resolve this. Reinstalling one drive after removing it can be a bit flakey, but can confirm that this works once you get that to work properly.

I don't get that menu for OneDrive...I get a normal Windows looking setting and can't find a "Sync and Backup" section

It won't let me do the same for the documents folder, though. I've stopped backing it up to OneDrive but when I ctrl x it then ctrl v into my user folder in the C drive, it says that it cannot move it since the folder or a file in it is open in another program. When I right-click the documents folder (in the OneDrive folder) and go to properties, it doesn't have a "location" section, so I can't restore to default location. What do I do? Thank you!

[zitko]

Thanks a million. I was googling this and found several solutions non of wich worked. Your video finally helped and I am truly thankful :)

[hachiroku]

This happened to me when I reinstalled windows 10 and can confirm that this also works on W10 for anyone wondering, thanks for the tutorial man

[billg]

Thanks for your help. As others, I spend an hour trying to do this which I did change years ago. Your instructions was easy to understand and make the changes.

[RaksasaR]

This was very helpful, thank you! I followed your steps and that fixed it for me :)

[Mark_]

Thanks very much. It worked. Simple method for fixing problem. Liked & Subscribed.

[benjamintherriault]

Thanks! I found that I needed to restart my PC after turning off the backups, soI could see the "location" tab

[NotTryHardXShorts]

Thank you! I’ve been facing this issue for a couple weeks. Reinstalled the game as well. But this worked!

[demogod]

once Ive changed the location of pictures/documents or what have you and copied the files to the folder I wish to use can I delete everything from the old location with no negative effects? I'm asking cause the whole reason I'm here is to get crap other than the OS off my C drive.

[rgiilof]

bro i am struggling with this problem from a lot of time but when i came across your video it just solved my problem

[raven]

Thank you so much. You are a life saver! I was gifted a new laptop with windows 11 and would rather use the disk drive for default storage instead of Onedrive.
