OneDrive Question

[Kif]

To make a long story short I deleted the default folders in my OneDrive Space. I was trying to delete my PC 'Sync Settings' so I could re-image my SP3 back to factory new. I now realize default OneDrive folders have nothing to do with it. So here's my question. Is it possible to restore my OneDrive space back to factory new without setting up a new account? I'm not even sure what are the standard defaults for OneDrive. In my recycle bin I see a Documents, Favorites, Public, and Shared Favorites folder. I don't use OneDrive for storage so everything can be deleted from it.

I think these links are just what you need.

Thanks, I actually already found the recycle bin. So here's the folders I show in my OneDrive web application folder. Are they the default folders? I'm not sure where they came from or even what they're used for.

I believe the default initial folders are:
- Documents
- Music
- Pictures
- Public

If you used to use "SkyDrive", you may have:
- Documents
- My Music
- My Pictures
- Public

Thanks for your help. I'm coming from Dropbox and I haven't quite figured out OneDrive. Are the default folders important or can you just create any folders you want and go from there. I guess I thought OneDrive was a little more integrated than it is. When I save an Office 2013 Word document it does bring up OneDrive as the default location but not a particular folder. I figured it would bring up the Documents folder in OneDrive.

You can create the names to be whatever you wish.

So....... where DOES OneDrive store the sync settings, for syncing up multiple PC's?

Sweet, thanks!

I've seen at least two different users come onto this forum that already owned Windows 8 machines, and wanted their new SP3's to be the new default machine for syncing, rather than their existing Win8 machines pushing their settings onto the SP3.
