All up to date etc.
I seem to have 3 copies of my 'Documents' folder.

1. One Drive
2 One Drive Personal
3 ....Appears under my actual name!

Each is a duplicate of the others and each updates and deletes items as the others.

Properties of each....9 GB...3882 Files....All created on 4 Jan 2026.

Very wary of simply deleting one or more!!!

Advice Please.

They are all the same documents folder. You can right click on each of them, select properties, location tab and see that the location is the same...C:\Users\yourusername\Onedrive. These files are not located on your system drive but in Onedrive cloud. I strongly suggest you do not attempt to delete anything. If you choose to not sync your files with Onedrive there is a proper sequence of steps to do it correctly.
