I was off in the total minutes by a decimal point (90 minutes instead of 900).
Good thing I'm not responsible for large sums of money!
I'm not clear on whether I really need to back up something. If I do, I don't understand what it would be.
More background on the OneDrive mess: before OneDrive goofed up my files, I already had everything backed up on an external drive with File History. My trying OneDrive was an effort to set up a second backup, so if one failed I'd still have the other one. Within hours after I discovered what OneDrive had done, I disabled it and restored all of my files, at least the best I could, to where they were originally (i.e., on the D:\ drive). I still have the File History backup on the external drive. And whatever copies of my files still exist in OneDrive online (which I assume are only 20 GB worth, corresponding to what OneDrive moved from C:\ to D:\) can rot there for all I care, since, to the extent that anything on my hard drive corresponds to them, the online files are either out-of-date or are no better than what I have in File History.
So if there's further backing up now to be done, I don't know what it would be. Am I misunderstanding? Or were you assuming that I didn't have anything backed up before I tried OneDrive?
Before I posted my last message, I had already moved the desktop folder back to it's original location of
C:\Users\< user name >\Desktop by using the location tab. I didn't hit the Restore Default button. Instead, I simply pasted C:\Users\ < user name > \Desktop in the box, and then clicked OK. That resulted in the desktop folder moving back to the C:\ drive. So it's there already.
Should I now simply go back to the Location tab and click on Restore Default? (At this point I'm afraid to do anything on my own.)
If not, and there is a reason for me to backup something, or first do something else, I need further guidance.
Thanks very much.
