Hi guys,


I save all my files to Skydrive these days and I have noticed that in the Win8.1 Skydrive app there are folders that were created for me, not by me (see screenshot: Pictures, there was one called Documents but I successfully deleted it after several attempts)

That's no big deal really, although I would like Skydrive to me organised the way I want it to be (the pictures folder reappears no matter how many times you delete it, heck even the documents folder gave up eventually!). The really odd thing I have noticed is this:


If you can't read that it says: "C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive\Documents is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted.".


I am connected to the network and all else checks out. The thing is I did deleted this folder. The default save location is set to C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive (and I don't need this function anyway as I manually save my files).


So why does the computer try to save to this location if the documents folder (which I remind you was deleted) is not set as the default save location?


I would like to point out at this point that this is no big deal. I can just hit OK and save to wherever. I am just curious.


Thanks in advance and please ask if you need me to clarify further,


eck
