Brian,
Check where your Windows Documents is located. Has it been located in
One Drive? One Drive used to have its own Documents folder separate to
the default Windows Documents folder but maybe it's different in Windows
10? I'm using Windows 10 but haven't used One Drive on it yet.
Legacy uses the Windows Document folder where ever that is located.
Note Sherry has given the default location of the Documents folder but
it can be moved if you use the proper methods.
Mine is simply D:\Documents
I've similarly moved the Windows Pictures folder to D:\Pictures but this
time I've left the Desktop at c:\<user name>\Desktop ;-)

Your data and media files and web pages can be anywhere you want them.
Default is in c:\<user name>\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\
Everything else in the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\folder has to be
there.... it can't be moved. That's where the program will look for
the _AppData and other files and if it's moved, then it will just be
recreated on c:\.

our media files can be on the hard drive and not in the OneDrive folder.
Sincerely,

Just built myself a new computer system and decided to give
Windows 10 a second chance with a clean install. So far, I’m happy
with the revised Windows 10 but when I re-installed Legacy
something strange happened.____
____
I had saved my complete custom data and media location folder from
my previous install and copied onto the new system (it is all on a
different drive than the C: drive; the program itself was
installed to the usual default location on the C: drive.) I ran
the new Legacy and pointed it towards my custom location for the
family file. Everything is there. However in checking my
customization options, I noticed the following strange things.____
__ __
Items 6.1 through 6.3 were all pointing towards
C:\Users\(name)\OneDrive\Documents\LegacyFamilyTree\_AppData\ with
the final sub-folder being “Data” for 6.1 Family File, “Media” for
6.2 Media Files, and “Temp” for 6.3 Temp files. ____
__ __
Notice the “OneDrive” in the path.____
__ __
I know the OneDrive was not part of the Win7 OS and that Win10
gives users “free 15 GB” of cloud storage called “OneDrive” but
maybe I fell asleep at the switch and didn’t realize that Legacy
would attempt to set up the cloud storage for file locations by
default. Previously it was set up for the Legacy created
“_AppData” folders in the User folders.____
__ __
Clicking on the RESET button for each item did not change
anything. And clicking on the Options button at the bottom for
Legacy Defaults or User Defaults did not change anything. (I am
capable of manually changing the path to eliminate the “OneDrive”
reference from each thus reverting to the “old” path that I am
accustomed to and moving the necessary files to the usual
location.)____
__ __
Did my system somehow burp on this install or was there a change
in Legacy’s defaults of File Locations for Win10 installations? My
75 GB of media files will never fit on the “free” OneDrive from
MS.____
