| 1481250 | 2021-10-11 23:57:00 | Hey I have both Google Drive sync and OneDrive making backups for me. I noticed that for the desktop several files which I had deleted on my machine, and files I had moved to subfolders, have undeleted themselves, and put them back on the desktop. I cant exclude desktop from OneDrive backup, and I cant see where or what program has been doing the undeletion. Anyone else have this problem? |

Good to chat again after all these years by the way! It says "Cant stop syncing folder - The folder you tried to unselect is the Windows Desktop folder, which is an important folder in Windows and is currently pointed to OneDrive." |

Oh Yeah, thats right. I had that the other day on a customers computer. To make sure I didn't lose anything Made a backup copy of any desktop folders, Files. Disconnected the internet then simply unticked Desktop. From memory It was a bit of untick the folders that were on the desktop first. Another way is in this video www.youtube.com |
