I want File Explorer to look at a different 'Pictures' folder location

A long time ago, I both moved my various Library folders (Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos) into my OneDrive folder, and re-located my OneDrive folder from my System drive to a different drive on my PC. This all worked fine for a while.

At some point since then, Windows seems to have re-set all my OneDrive content to the System drive, causing a mass duplication of data. I don't really know when this happened, but I guess I have had duplicates of all my OneDrive content for some time now.

Just today, I noticed the duplicate files on my System drive, and went through the steps of: disconnecting my account from OneDrive; and re-initiating OneDrive so I could pick the location of the OneDrive folder. For added aggravation, I selected the existing OneDrive folder on my F: drive, as the location for my OneDrive folder to be. OneDrive proceeded to make a /OneDrive folder within the existing OneDrive folder and proceeded to "Sync" duplicates of all my existing files therein.

I fixed that by once again disconnecting my account from OneDrive and this time, when re-initiating OneDrive, selecting the root directory of my F: drive, which must be what I did when I initially changed the location of my OneDrive folder.

For the most part, things have gone well. However, I now have a Pictures folder that appears in File Explorer, that refers to a Pictures folder in the old location on my System Drive. There does not seem to be a way to change it's location by any option brought forward by right-clicking on it. Also, any files placed in it, will be "Synced" by OneDrive to a separate Pictures folder in F:\OneDrive\OneDrive, which in my book is stupid, unnecessary, unexpected and undesirable.

In File Explorer, Expand Libraries, right-click on Pictures, select Properties.

Make sure that only the location that you want is shown. Remove any unwanted / duplicate locations.

Does the PIctures folder on your system drive not have a 'Location' tab in its 'Properties' dialog?

This worked nicely, thank you.

For whatever reason, right clicking from within the folder itself would not give me a re-location option, but right clicking from the File Explorer window as described above did.

Glad that worked. Yeah, it can get a bit confusing with the Libraries sometimes.
