Would appreciate, easiest route, step by step guide to sort. Thank you.

I think the other answers may be missing the issue here; sorry if I'm wrong.

Windows 11 automatically assigns a number of areas to OneDrive ... forgive me that I can't presently remember exactly what.

I do know that "My Documents" from the file browser side-bar goes to OneDrive, and I suspect the desktop, music and videos also all do.

I think that the BiaB Songs folder (default C:/bb/Song) probably does not.

I suspect that you're saving your songs to somewhere that Windows11 automatically assigns to OneDrive.

I realised this when I found that I had two different folders for something that appeared to have the same name, but one of them was in OneDrive. Again I can't remember for certain exactly what, but I suspect it was C:/users/gordon/Documents and C:/users/gordon/OneDrive/Documents.

Hopefully that will give some clues.

FYI, one reason I can't remember is that I turned off OneDrive and remapped the shortcuts, though the remapping is a bit suspect ... not every application honours it. I keep my own songs in C:/bb/Songs/Gordon/ and then a hierarchy mostly based on A...Z.
