Here`s a good One

ESO is place it`s directory into Onedrive. I got rid of One drive but ESO keeps going back and recreating the directory. Now I can`t get the addons to work because of this because they are not in the said directory. I really dislike Onedrive, what a pain.

I uninstalled ESO and Onedrive, cleaned everything out and reinstalled but the game created the ESO live folder again in the Onedrive folder. WHAT GIVES?

It sounds like your documents folder is mapped to your OneDrive account (which is not the same as the OneDrive app). I think this link might have the directions you need, but Windows is not my thing and I'm not sure if this is version-specific: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unlink-my-documents-folder-from-onedrive/21edbce4-a38e-489b-8aab-608f0f4ee506

Edit: That's a pretty old link. Here's the official MS instructions for Win 10/11. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-off-disable-or-uninstall-onedrive-f32a17ce-3336-40fe-9c38-6efb09f944b0

I'll also add that it's not ESO creating the OneDrive directory - it's MS/Windows.

Well the last link was the one I used but onedrive folder came back, I don`t have onedrive but the folder I do. Oh well, i`ll just work out of that folder.

Maybe this link will help. It's a long article but gives detailed instructions.
