Resolved How to move folders from OneDrive to another folder in the c: drive

A tech guy loaded some files from my Win7 to my new Win10 home.
He also put my old Pictures, Documents folders in the following path:

c:\Users\(name)\One Drive\ .....

We don't want or will ever use OneDrive.
More importantly Acronis won't back up anything on OneDrive when doing a full image backup.
Even when I deleted the OneDrive from the Acronis Exception list, it will still not back it up.

What's the best way to fix this?
Can I just rename the One Drive folder to something else so it will get backed up along with everything else?

 

I am the same way but there is one HUGE advantage to using OneDrive for things like old family, or vacation photos you don't want to lose - they will never get lost. OneDrive and other "cloud" storage services keep multiple copies in multiple locations - likely forever and a day.

Whereas even if you keep multiple backups of your data in your home, there is still a chance a fire, flood, burglar, or hurricane/tornado will take your computer and all your backups with it.

So I trust "the cloud" not to lose my data. My problem is, I do not trust the cloud to protect my data from hackers. So for me, putting family photos and other documents I want others to have access to out in the cloud makes sense. But putting documents I don't want bad guys to see, I still prefer local storage - even if that means I keep a backup copy "off-site" at a trusted friend's or relative's house, or in a safe deposit box at my bank.

 

Thanks guys, that's all good advice.
Have a super weekend..
