I couldn't figure it out either. I think the problems, have been exaggerated based on a basic dislike of syncing thing to the cloud.

Just had a romp through settings and I notice that OneDrive had reactivated itself automagically during the last set of updates. Grrrr.

I guess we should all maybe check...

That's why I uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller but even after unlinking and uninstalling someday you maybe surprised to see it reinstalled again after a repair or update.

OneDrive doesn't sync downloads on its own, so if you have a downloads folder in OneDrive, you created it (or something did on your behalf). Move the files from one folder into the other, and ditch the one you don't want.
