Solved Accidentally changed location of "Documents" shortcut
I changed the location of my "Documents" shortcut on the left side of Windows Explorer from C:\Users\<username>\Documents to my OneDrive Documents folder. I want to change it back to where it was before but I'm getting error messages. I removed the read-only attributes from both folders, but I'm still getting the problems.

Hello Brendan,
The error message is saying that you already have a "C:\Users\Brendan\Documents" folder.
By default, you have both a "C:\Users\Brendan\Documents" and "C:\Users\Brendan\SkyDrive\Documents" folders. These are not the same folder.
Do you not see the "C:\Users\Brendan\Documents" folder at that location? If not, then see if using OPITON TWO below may help.
