I recently bought an MSI desktop and in whatever reasoning MSI set up items such as Desktop, Documents, Photos and maybe more to reside in One drive.
I would like to (safely) reassign them back to the system drive (C). I tried with the Desktop and it messed things up (luckily, I was able to recover).
I have the Documents from my old computer and don't want what is in one drive's Document folder.

Other than a clean reinstall, what do I need to do.
