As seen below my $PROFILE on Pwsh still points to Korean

(base) PS C:\Bin\Pwsh> echo $PROFILE

C:\Users[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]\OneDrive\문서\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

But I need this in English as too many tasks are confused due to this.

All my settings are Language & Region on both OneDrive & Accounts are in English(US).

But my $PROFILE & OneDrive is locked in even though I made deliverate choice to Convert those to English as well.

Especially $PROFILE

Causing a Havoc.

(base) PS C:\Bin\Pwsh> dir C:\Users[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]\OneDrive\Documents

Get-ChildItem: Cannot find path 'C:\Users[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]\OneDrive\Documents' because it does not exist.

(base) PS C:\Bin\Pwsh> dir C:\Users[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]\OneDrive\문서

Directory: C:\Users\

    Hello AliveKr,

    I can see that you are having issue with OneDrive still in Korean.

    It appears that Windows is still using the localized physical path for your Documents known folder.

    Changing the language settings in Windows, OneDrive, or your Microsoft account does not necessarily rename a folder that was created previously.

    Before making changes, ensure OneDrive has finished syncing and back up the folder. Then, in File Explorer, right-select Documents under This PC, select Properties > Location, and check the current path. If available, use Move to redirect it to a newly created OneDrive\Documents folder.

    Afterward, restart PowerShell and check $PROFILE again.

    Please do not manually rename or delete the existing folder, as Windows or OneDrive may still have it registered as the Documents known folder.

    If the Location tab is unavailable, please let us know whether this is a personal computer or a device managed by your organization.

    Feel free reply back to this post if you need further assistance, I'll be happy to help
