Cache MUST be moved out of Documents
I know others have mentioned this, but the location of cache under Documents is absolutely interfering with work being done on the PC at other times. This of course is due to how OneDrive works and ...

Thanks to this guide, aplied this as I've already had another problem with OneDrive syncing and Company of Heroes 2.
I've also done this below:
1. Open OneDrive
2. Open Settings
3. Click on Advanced Setup
4. In the section Excluded file extensions, click the Exclude button
5. add the file type .PcDx12 (for the cache)
Probably DICE choose to leave cache at my documents since the size of the folder gets bigger and bigger and doesn't clear by itself from time to time, that way user could do this. It is a shame but apparently that is the way 😢😞
@FarewelI
Appreciate the tip as it sounds like it may be simple. It would be nice to install OneDrive and have it work again without it filling OneDrive cloud totally with cache files.
- @sk1lld Discovered that the OneDrive file extension exclusion is bugged since October 2023. So now we are all hopeless.
I don't use OneDrive because I value my already very stunted privacy in today's world. The question is, have you tried linking the cache folder to, say, the LocalData folder or to another drive, or in the case of OneDrive, does this do nothing? I am thinking of the Mlink command in cmd.
