Had a somewhat similar issue, but with Drive File Stream.

At one point I set it up to use my second SSD as the local storage. Then I needed that SSD elsewhere, so I just took it out. It was impossible to restart the damn thing. It kept complaining about missing folders. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it kept its settings.

Since I barely used that machine, if ever, and I'm not particularly familiar with Windows, I never really looked into how to completely clean up the configuration. But the point is that there clearly are some pretty stupid decisions about some products.

For future reference, most windows apps keep their settings in the AppData/Roaming folder in your user folder. There's a useful shortcut as an env variable - type %APPDATA% into explorer to go straight there.

System-wide settings and state should be stored in C:\ProgramData.
