Greetings!

As can be seen in the below Screenshot I'm having issue with moving / redirecting a OneDrive Folder to another location:
r/WindowsHelp - OneDrive - The folder can't be moved here ?
Neither the Source Folder ( left ) nor the Target Folder ( right ) have any Content in them - They're void of any Files & Folders ( hidden or not ) that might cause the below Error Message mentioning any Folders:
r/WindowsHelp - OneDrive - The folder can't be moved here ?

I tried:
None worked leaving me with basically only the editing of the Registry perhaps solving the issue but most likely not the root cause 🤔
( or reinstalling Windows - preemptively relocating the Folder before connecting to OneDrive - which I find rather excessive 😑 )

Any suggestions?

One thing of note, most everything above This PC in the Navigation pane are only shortcuts to the actual item, right-click one and choose Properties to verify that. Defaults will point to C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE.

If all else fails you could create a new older for your pictures and when you save a picture have the program use the new folder as the default save location.
