So I am trying to delete this folder that is on my Desktop named "New folder". I don't remember how it got there, but I get an error message stating:

"This is no longer located in C:\Users\andre\OneDrive\Desktop. Verify the item's location and try again".

I also have OneDrive uninstalled, so not sure what to even do about that. I tried to navigate to C:\Users\andre\Desktop to delete it from there, but the Desktop doesn't even appear in that directory anymore. Not sure how to proceed.

**UPDATE**

I unplugged my Windows bootable drive, which in turn removed the "New folder" from my Desktop, but that did not make the Desktop reappear in the directory. I now have found my Desktop directory. It is located in C:\Users\andre\OneDrive\, but how is this possible if OneDrive is uninstalled. Also, how can I just drag the Desktop directory into my user directory safely?

To move the folder cut and paste it, that's if it will allow you as to why I don't know maybe someone else can help with that
