OneDrive duplicating the user folder is a deeply confusing decision. I spent years not knowing why half my documents were missing.
It's one of those things that people probably wouldn't complain about or even notice if it actually worked properly, but as it stands it's just pure enshittification.
I literally just made a new documents folder called something else to avoid confusion. In addition to excising OneDrive from every new Windows install.
Another problem with that is that audio software like sample-based virtual instruments store all the data in the documents folder, which quickly takes up any cloud space I had. That clearly belongs in some sort of app data folder, but that hasn't been the guidance from Microsoft to developers.
Everything uses the documents folder because everything on windows is a backwards-compatible pile of spaghetti.
Games even use the "Documents" folder instead of the "My Games" folder, or
.../%appdata/local. There is soft-guidance from Microsoft, but it's not really enforced, and idk what the APIs are like for saving stuff.
