Windows seems to make this deliberately confusing, eg displaying "Desktop" as the root of the hierarchy in the default Explorer window makes no sense (Desktop > Home > Desktop?). Then layer in typical corporate MS software like OneDrive, and it gets even weirder and harder to determine what's where on the local fs.

Then, you have Personal which is using OneDrive and everything else. If you have Google Drive or Dropbox then it shows up too.

Lots of options, plenty of opportunity for confusion.

That's by design. They don't want you to store your files locally. They want you to store them in the cloud... their cloud.
