Everything now is being saved by you in OneDrive now. How do I stop this?

I bitterly resent that I cannot keep my files on my own hard drive where I have plenty of room but now everything appears to be sent to OneDrive by your app. Files get cleared out after a time and this seems to be why I lost all my older Save files and one cannot get Windows 10 not to do this. It's even worse if you get a new computer.
How can one change the Save folder back to one's own Hard Drive?
If this is a sign of what's to come it won't do EA any good at all.
I had blocked OneDrive from starting up on my computer so where the files are I don't know.
  • This may help. It's from 3 years ago so not sure if it's related to the EA App.

    How to disable the automatic synchronization of Onedrive with your Documents folder (since the above comment does not actual help people who might not know how to do that).
