Just setup OneDrive, works great, but is there duplicate files on my C drive?
I setup one drive to help backup and sync my folders across workstations. I understand the icons, cloud, green checkmark-white background, white checkmark-green background. I see that that Documents links on the left side of the windows explorer screen are the same as the OneDrive(see image). After I let OneDrive sync up (around 30GB) of data, I noticed my hard drive got fuller. So I did some searching and see there are two separate “Documents” folder locations. From the picture you can see the left side window is from this location: C:usersxxxxxDocumentsInventor. There are no OneDrive status symbols like there are on the right side window. Are these file locations different? If I delete the data in the left side window location, will it affect the data in the other Documents location? Is it the same data? From the image you can also see that all my data is in the OneDrive documents folder, so I don’t think it is the same data. I can’t find the actual location of the quick links document folder to verify. Thanks!
