I have a new laptop with Windows 11. It automatically moved all my files to OneDrive.

When I tried to move files back to my laptop, I get a message that if I deleted OneDrive copy, all copies would automatically be deleted from laptop.
I don't want all my finances on OneDrive but it appears I have no choice

Create a local folder like C:\Users\<Username>/Quicken and move the data files there. Double click on your data file to open it and Quicken will remember the location.

I tried this and got message that if I moved the file out of OneDrive it would automatically be deleted from ALL my devices. I also tried to create file in Quicken. The next time I opened Quicken I got a message that my file was being synced to OneDrive. I had gone into OneDrive and clicked on Quicken documents to eliminate them from OneDrive sync but that didn't work either. I feel as if OneDrive is taking over my computer with a mind of it's own.

Try Copy instead of move. I believe Windows is just warning you that if you move the files from OneDrive they'll be deleted on all devices with OneDrive.
