ok

[whole apex]

go into unity hub and go to account

press manage licenses

if you do not have one, you must create one

unity will not work without a license

[merry kestrel]

i dont even see account

wait nvm i think i got it

[whole apex]

screenshot your unity hub

okay so

do you see manage licenses?

[merry kestrel]

i got this

[whole apex]

yes

click manage licenses

and click add

[merry kestrel]

ohhh

[whole apex]

yup

[merry kestrel]

ok, and i will prob have to create one

[whole apex]

click add and follow steps

well, press personal license

then once you have the license you should be able to use unity

[merry kestrel]

kk done

[whole apex]

you have the license?

[merry kestrel]

how to check

[whole apex]

go back to "manage licenses"

[merry kestrel]

ok

[whole apex]

you see the license?

[merry kestrel]

i just see personal

[whole apex]

now you have a personal license

try making a unity project

[merry kestrel]

nope

i think it is to do with unity editor

[whole apex]

what are you trying to save the project to?

[merry kestrel]

some folder in desktop

wait

[whole apex]

are you trying to save it on your C: drive or in the cloud?

ah

[merry kestrel]

it says C:

but then

onedrive

[whole apex]

screenshot

[whole apex]

yeah make a new folder on your actual desktop

not on onedrive

[merry kestrel]

wdym actual desktop

i see 3

[whole apex]

like your desktop

onedrive immitates your pc

to upload to cloud

its a mess

[merry kestrel]

oh

so i collapsed everything

is it this one

[whole apex]

yes as long as its not under onedrive

[merry kestrel]

ok

it is saying one drive tho

next to it

[whole apex]

give me ainute

minute

[whole apex]

oh my

[merry kestrel]

what

[whole apex]

is that when you opened up file explorer?

[merry kestrel]

let me see i think so

yes

for one of the views

this was a diff view

[whole apex]

go down to this pc

[merry kestrel]

ok

[whole apex]

below this pc should be desktop

thats your actual pc

[merry kestrel]

ok

i dont see it

it is way deeper

below

Onedrive

[covert trout]

is your desktop only on onedrive?

[whole apex]

should look like

tbf i have windows 10

but they should be similar

[merry kestrel]

nope

[whole apex]

show me your entire screen like i did with "this pc" open

im having a hard time believing windows took your desktop folder

if onedrive collected your entire pc, errrmm

[merry kestrel]

ok i did tho

that was my screen

[whole apex]

you said before you had 3 desktops

where did you see those

[whole apex]

i would need to see your whole taskbar like i did, you only supplied "this pc"

[merry kestrel]

wait

[whole apex]

home

under home

[merry kestrel]

accidently leaked something

[whole apex]

i saw a desktop

[merry kestrel]

it redirects

to the other one

[whole apex]

to onedrive?

[merry kestrel]

yes

[whole apex]

what happens when you create a folder on your desktop

your actual desktop

not in file explorer

[merry kestrel]

i did

[whole apex]

well?

[merry kestrel]

goes to all 3

[whole apex]

onedrive is a pest

[merry kestrel]

yes

[whole apex]

i would recommend following this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=119bYD_A9mI

[merry kestrel]

will do

[whole apex]

its very easy, once you are finished try and make a new unity project

not in onedrive

[merry kestrel]

ok

[whole apex]

and you should be okay

[merry kestrel]

kk

should i watch that version or the updated version

[whole apex]

updated if it applies to you

[merry kestrel]

i cant stop the backup

bcse it never finished

[whole apex]

interesting

you unlinked onedrive?

[merry kestrel]

yea bcse u told me to

[whole apex]

what % is the backup

[merry kestrel]

i unlinked it

so how can i see

[whole apex]

i guess link it back up, it will probably have the X's again but just let it backup then

[merry kestrel]

it wont

bcse it is full

[whole apex]

onedrive is full?

[merry kestrel]

no it says it ran out of storage

i think i have to upgrade

for it

which i defo wont

after this

[whole apex]

thats what microsoft does, this is why we all hate onedrive lmao

give me a minute

[merry kestrel]

i was so confused

i was like why is my desktop being backup

[whole apex]

it should still let you link back into onedrive though

even if it is full

ah wait

it would let you but they are tryna get you to pay more so it just wont sync

[merry kestrel]

yea, also i cant switch the switches

it tells me to

[whole apex]

what do you have on your pc

anything important?

[merry kestrel]

no not really

[whole apex]

you could either, litterally could just delete onedrive or do a clean windows install

if you delete it

make sure you copy all of your files from it to your actual root folder

in the C: drive, the tutorial should have shown you

[merry kestrel]

man this is so stupid

[whole apex]

thats onedrive

[merry kestrel]

why do i have to pay to download stuff

[whole apex]

actual infection

[merry kestrel]

it's literally a virus

in disguise

[whole apex]

so if you want to delete it copy anything important from onedrive to your real C: folder

like shown in video

then go to Add or remove programs and type "onedrive"

then just uninstall it

[merry kestrel]

i dont think i have anything important

[whole apex]

you should probably check due to it being onedrive

[merry kestrel]

will my anti-virus be ok

[whole apex]

not sure where it is

[merry kestrel]

ah

ok

i cant find it

[whole apex]

you can just reinstall it, no?

if it does get deleted

[merry kestrel]

i did pay for it tho

[whole apex]

most programs allow you to reinstall them if you paid for it

[merry kestrel]

ok

so time to literally delete one drive

would my search engine get deleted

out of curiosity

[whole apex]

depends on where it is

but it shouldnt

i have zero clue what onedrive wants with all that data

tbh

[merry kestrel]

yep

I'm free

ty

[whole apex]

im sorry you had to go through that 😅

[merry kestrel]

lemme see if unity works

[whole apex]

onedrive is an actual virus

[merry kestrel]

basically ransomware

but ethical

[whole apex]

yeah so when you go into unity change the filepath to not onedrive

[merry kestrel]

Ok

Will do soon got a chess game to prep for

Thanks a lot tho

I was basically trapped

Can I close thread or should I keep open in case I still can’t make projects

[whole apex]

keep it open just in case

[merry kestrel]

omg

guess what i found

hidden away

@whole apex

[whole apex]

what is it?

not sure i follow

[merry kestrel]

didn't screenshot the whole thing

i tried to fix it

and may have deleted documents

[whole apex]

tried to fix what?

[merry kestrel]

removing this other onedrive

thing

i thought i removed all of it

but it was lurking in my computer

[whole apex]

you deleted it it fully now?

[merry kestrel]

nope

it is somehow still there

[whole apex]

a onedrive folder is still there?

you should be able to delete it

as long as it has nothing in it

ofc

[merry kestrel]

i did

[whole apex]

and what do you mean it deleted documents?

[merry kestrel]

and then my desktop wouldn't open

and now somehow it is back

[whole apex]

ah, i believe your fine then

just move desktop to your real C: drive folder

move desktop, downloads, documents, etc

[merry kestrel]

which

also i gtg

so i can message but not do the steps

[whole apex]

alrighty but you can use this as a reference on what you need to move

under "this pc"

[merry kestrel]

Ok

[whole apex]

as long as onedrive isnt saving anything anymore you should be okay

[merry kestrel]

Yea I should’ve mentioned

It was empty

But my screen had icons

So does that mean they aren’t linked?

[whole apex]

what do you mean your screen had icons

[merry kestrel]

Edge

Unity

Recycle Bin

[whole apex]

in "thispc"?

if so thats normal

[merry kestrel]

No on my computer screen

Like on my wallpaper

[whole apex]

oh on your desktop, or like actually on your wallpaper

you can probably just change wallpaper if thats what it is

[merry kestrel]

no my desktop
