I have recently discovered that many of my folders are labeled "shared" and I have reformatted the computer but to no avail. I unregistered Google VPN but same thing.
What is this due to? I'm a little worried because I try to keep my computer as secure as possible. Any soul can help me? I am using windows 11 PRO

Is the default location of these folders Onedrive? (right click on folder-properties-location tab)
If so, was the folder ever shared from that computer or any computer using a MS account OR have you shared the folder from within Onedrive?

Why would " Server " in services make the state "shared" when I disabled it?
