I just wiped my hard drive and installed the May Windows 10 update from scratch. C2C is running fine but I noticed all the custom assets and logs files are being stored to Onedrive rather than to my local drive.
Does anyone know how to redirect where the C2C files are stored?

You messed up badly with windows itself or forgot to set something here as it stores things in cloud instead of my documents.
By the way don't install mod here.

@Toffer90 has windows 10.

I reinstalled windows 10 pro this May too, but it placed the documents folder on the system drive inside my user folder...

If you can find the documents folder on your oneDrive, right click it and select properties.
There should be a tab in the properties window called "location", there you can change where your users documents folder is located.

I've done this to get those files off my 500 GB SSD system drive over to a 3 TB HDD.
My documents folder is 5 GB in size and almost every program writes to files there now and again. I like to spare my SSD from those extra writes when I can to increase its lifetime.
Never heard about windows putting those files in OneDrive, so I don't know if it can be moved away from there the same way one usually moves its location.

Thanks Toffer90 - I tried the redirection but because a "Documents" folder already exists under my local Windows profile, Windows did not allow the redirection. I could redirect it to something like "C:\users\<my_name>\MyDocuments" but then I'll have two "Documents" folders.
I also tried redirecting just the "My Games" subfolder but could not change the location.
Just seems weird that my previous version of Win 10 (which was patched to the Fall 2018 update) was fine. I understand this latest update had some changes for gamers so I might look into this a bit more.
