Cant move Electronic arts folder from Onedrive to desktop. Keeps popping back up

I tired moving my electronic arts folder from Onedrive to my desktop (didnt mean to save it on onedrive in the first place) and after restarting the Sims game the EA folder keeps popping back up in my onedrive. even after i specifically delete that EA folder from onedrife. It just keeps popping back up. How do i stop that and change the EA file to desktop?

    @91770894  The login rewards are saved to UserSettings.ini, so if you still have your old copy of that file, try restoring it.

    Do you need any further help with this issue?  If so, let me know.

    Original Problem: wanted to move EA folder to dektop so 1. moved 2. restarted sims 3. folder kept reappearing in onedrive.

    Solution: Delete EA file (after moving/copying to new location) in online onedrive. Deleting it from my pc only deleted it there and it was still available online, hence the reappearing. 

    Unlinked the onedrive from my pc (didnt need it anyways). and then restarted sims, created a new save, exited sims. Copied the old save into the new save folder (otherwise the original save would disappear) and restart sims again. 

    Now its saved on my desktop locally while also having preserved the save file. I did need to recopy my ccs and mods into the ea folder though.

    The only thing that wasnt savend though was the log in event gifts. but i heard there was a mod to unlock them again.
