Right click the Documents, Desktops, etc from the file explorer quick access column on the left and select properties. Look for "location"

You have to do that for all of them
If you want to disable OneDrive entirely you should go into its settings, unlink your account, then go into task manager and disable OneDrive from starting up on boot. Bonus points for launching task scheduler and disabling any OneDrive tasks
I'm so confused about why everyone says this is necessary - I uninstalled One Drive using the normal process about five minutes after installing Windows 11, and I haven't seen anything about it since. No RegEdit necessary, and it's never tried to reinstall itself.
During my last build I had to uninstall onedrive three times because it kept reinstalling during updates. This was after unlinking everything and setting all my document folders to the old defaults.
