Fix it with Stella · Files & sync

OneDrive hijacked your Desktop? Get your files back.

Windows quietly redirected your Desktop and Documents into OneDrive, and now nothing is where it was. Stella untangles the folder redirection, restores real local copies of your files, and turns off the “backup” switch that did it — in the right order, so nothing gets lost.

Try this prompt

“My desktop files disappeared and everything says it's in OneDrive now. Put it back the way it was without losing anything.”

You: My desktop files disappeared and everything says it's in OneDrive now. Put it back the way it was without losing anything. Stella: Windows redirected Desktop into OneDrive. I'll download anything that's cloud-only before I touch settings. You: Then undo the hijack. Stella: Local copies are here, backup switch is off, Desktop points home again. Nothing missing.

What Stella actually does.

  • Finds where your files actually live right now — local, cloud-only, or both
  • Downloads real local copies of anything that's cloud-only before changing settings
  • Turns off the folder backup / redirection safely, in the order that loses nothing
  • Points Desktop and Documents back to your local folders and verifies files open
