Handling changes to redirected folders

CDM automatically manages changes made to redirected folders, whether those changes come from you or other applications attempting to redirect the same folders. CDM addresses these scenarios in the following ways:

Scenario	CDM behavior
Locally renamed, moved, or deleted	CDM will prevent you from renaming, moving, or deleting redirected folders on your local system.
Renamed, moved, or deleted in the OneDrive web app	CDM will recreate the redirected folder during the next sync. However, the contents of that folder will not be restored.
Folder redirection policy modified by an admin in Iris	When CDM starts, it applies any changes an admin has made to the folder redirection policy in Iris since the last session. For example, if an admin renames a folder in the policy, CDM will create a new path for it the next time it starts.
Conflicts with other folder redirection applications	If another application modifies the path of a Windows profile folder while CDM is running, CDM monitors the situation and restores the folder to its designated OneDrive location, ensuring that the assigned redirection policy is maintained.
