Because OneDrive runs in the background at low priority you may not know its even doing anything.

Go into Settings, that's WindowsKey+I and you should see something like this:

Click OneDrive Manage and you should see something like this:

If Documents is in the list then it's probably being synched to OneDrive, a green tick in a green circle means the folder is available locally and it's being synched to OneDrive.

So why is this a problem? See ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?

Do not put your calibre library on a networked drive.
In the context of where calibre libraries should be stored, OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 etc. etc are the equivalent of a 'networked drive'.

If you hover on a Status icon you'll get a brief note, here's the long form ==>> What do the OneDrive icons mean?

Before doing anything I suggest you move the Calibre Library folder out of Documents to your user folder.
