OneDrive folder redirection move to OneDrive should leave behind .pst files.

[Lou240]

[Enter feedback here] PC folder backup and understanding existing folder redirection is great, but is a problem for .pst files. With PC folder backup turned on, it will move the .pst file to OneDrive, then not sync it. Not syncing ok, but it would be nice to be able to skip the file in the move because moving the .pst file will break existing definition in Outlook. We plan to get rid of many TB of .psts but would like to get OneDrive files moved first.
