I haven't synced My Documents to OneDrive in a long time and want to do so. There's a subfolder that I don't want synced, so I tried to "Move" it out of Documents only to be greeted with a "Copy" dialog rather than a "Move" one. Is there any way I can move the folder without a cut-paste operation?

For context, the computer I'm talking about is a 2021 Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 2 (AMD) with an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U with Radeon Graphics processor at a nominal 2.30 GHz, 16 GB of RAM (of which 14.8 GB is usable), the 1920 × 1080 display, and an SSD advertised as 512 GB; currently running Windows 10 Professional Version 22H2, build 19045.6093 on its internal drive.

I think the title is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm going to elaborate a bit more. AFAIK, there is no easy way within Windows to prevent a subfolder or file from syncing that's underneath a folder set to sync, so my only option to prevent it from syncing is to kick it out of My Documents entirely. I specifically tried to "elevate" it from C:\\Users\x\OneDrive\Documents to C:\\Users\x by dragging it out of the former to the latter using 2 Windows File Explorer windows, but was only allowed to "Copy" the folder rather than "Move" it, which is unacceptable for my purposes. I could perform a "Cut-Paste" to effectively move it, but that would change the creation dates—I know of no way of fully preserving creation dates through an intra-drive Copy operation using Windows utilities†—and ideally I want it to be a True Move (i.e. the directory metadata of the existing files are changed without any copy operation) of the file.

And so, the question. Of course, I'd also like to know how to do so if it is indeed possible.

(BTW, I suspect that a potential reason why is that every item in a OneDrive-synced folder is associated with an NTFS altstream that stores its syncing properties {state and possibly time last synced} that cannot sensibly be transferred to a different folder. I don't give a damn about that altstream, so if there's a way to delete it so the move can commence, I'd be open to hearing about it.)

†Yes, even Robocopy doesn't preserve Folder dates created. Yes, even when explicitly instructed to preserve everything... I'd love to be wrong on this—for related purposes, if anyone knows how to do this with Robocopy, please tell me.
