Maybe C:\Users\[username]\OneDrive ?
By example, for "Downloads", what is displayed in Windows address bar is (without clicking in address bar) : \\Téléchargements\
My goal is to have : C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\

So I have all the time a virtual folder displayed instead of an absolute folder.

Please make a Google-Search:
Change OneDrive path
or
Change the location of your OneDrive folder

Detailed instructions can be found here.

Unfortunately, I can't help you any further with this issue.
English is not my native language and I don't want to change my OneDrive configuration just to test it.
