I have uninstalled OneDrive from my computer and removed all folders with OneDrive. From this time when I try to save e.g. picture I receive every time message: Location C:\users\Danny\OneDrive\Desktop is unavailable. If this location is on your computer...
How to get rid of this message?

@dannyboy66 You may need to reinstall Opera, so it can get the new location of your desktop.

Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and edit the "Preferences" file in the profile folder with JSONedit in tree mode.

Under root/selectfile, right-click on last_directory and choose "delete selected node".

Then, under root/savefile, right-click on default_directory and choose "delete selected node".

Then, under root/download (if present), right-click on default_directory" and choose "delete selected node".

Then save your changes.

That might do it. But once Opera starts up, goto the URL and make sure your downloads folder is set to "C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads" and not some onedrive folder.

I found the reason. It turned out that despite uninstalling OneDrive, there were registry entries pointing to the \Users\Name\OneDrive\Documents (and desktop) folder, not Users\name\Documents. After changing the registry, everything is fine.
