I ran into this and became absolutely baffled, because One Drive wasn't open or logged in or even enabled at all. The computer wasn't actually saving things to One Drive, but somehow Windows is able to have two different names for the same filepath. C:/Documents is the same folder as C:/OneDrive/user/username/blahblah/Documents. I don't see how this is possible, but it appears I can't change it.
