KFM ( Known Folder Move) what you need to know when it fails.

 If you have deployed KFM (Known Folder Move) in your environment and user GPO to force it down to user computer , you did enabled at the least below reg keys via your GPO, or add them manually via SCCM or PS script.

 KFM , required and recommended GPO settings

If you found out KFM did not worked one of the most common reason is, existing folder redirection, and OneDrive will add several keys in the registry to prevent KFM run next time, since it has already been failed. You need to fix existing folder redirection issue, whatever is causing it. Then clean up following registry keys to be ready to try again
