OneDrive not working after changing name of user folder

Question

I manually changed the name of my user folder using the process described here: https://superuser.com/a/499446

Since then, OneDrive does not sync, and shows errors such as 0x80010007. What can I do to fix this? I already tried resetting the client and using the troubleshooting cab.

Answer 1

You'll need to unlink and relink your OneDrive account.

Information is here about how to move a OneDrive folder which is what you essentially did.

Answer 2

In case it's helpful: the solution was to turn my account into a local account and then reconnect it with my Microsoft account.
