Hello,

I'm lost. I installed both Premiere Elements & Elements Organizer. I just left the default settings as is (Next...Next...Install...ect).

Now I'm finding that something was uploading to my OneDrive and other files are loading to my local hard drive. My OneDrive is out of space. How do I move all the files from OneDrive to my Hard drive without breaking links?

Error or problem

I don't see how I can update my post so I'm replying... I figured out that My Documents on my hard drive (which is where the Adobe folder is) is uploading (syncing) to OneDrive. I learned how to stop that one Adobe folder from syncing. Unfortunately, it wouldn't stop because files were waiting to upload. So... I had to delete some of the files... Unfortunately Premiere Elements won't open now. 😞

Now I guess I need to learn how to reinstall the program & I guess I've lost all my projects. (crying)

For those who might have the same problem. Scroll down to 'how to stop a folder from syncing' on this link:

Were you using OneDrive as your primary storage or was it set to do backups? What files did you delete? Source video files or project files?

Well, I figured out some more of my issue. 🙂 YAY!

I deleted a bunch of files from a project's name that I recognized until OneDrive gained enough room to finish its syncing process. YAY! Next, I desection my Adobe folder so it won't be included when My Documents syncs with OneDrive anymore ANOTHER YAY! After I did that, I tried to open Premiere but it wouldn't open (not a yay) ...so.... I started moving files from my trash back to the Adobe's "21" folder (whatever the '21' is) and whoo-la, Adobe Premiere opens now! YAY!

My only question left is this... I didn't realize it, but there are hundreds(!) of Adobe files still in my trash can. For example, there's lots of rendering from different projects, Should I continue to move all those files from my trash back to the Adobe folder? OR is there some kind of "clean up" tool I can use? Surely I don't need all those files, do I?

(Thank you for your response!,Bill!!)
