I've read what the MS help page says to do, which is to move the item to the corresponding folder on PC. I only have the free 5GB that is standard on a new laptop, and I've only accessed it once, just to see how it works. Not sure if the default of the program is on when first setting up the laptop, but it immediately sucks up 5 gigs worth of stuff, and starts slapping red X's on folders (out of storage).

Anyway, I moved a video project from a OneDrive folder to a library folder on my laptop. It disappeared on OneDrive, only to show up where I wanted it: a folder on my local drive. It's now showing in my local drive folder, with a red X, but I still have plenty room on my HDD and SSD. And now, the file is also back in OneDrive, from where I moved it in the first place.

If I try to just delete a folder from OneDrive, I get the message that it will be gone from the cloud, and is not present on the physical device. Looks like, if OneDrive is running to enable me to move the data, it sucks it back up immediately and signals it's full. Is there a way to bring my files from the cloud to my physical device and then either keep certain files from syncing or just plain shut it (Sync) off?

Maybe I'm making this too complicated. I don't really care about the cloud stuff one way or the other, but I want all of my saved stuff accessible from my physical device. I think once I copied the contents of OneDrive and pasted them into their respective local folders, only to percieve duplicate everything on my local drive.
