Source File Connection Issues

When I started this project, I created a local file to hold reports as a data source for my Powerbi projects. However, I needed to create a cloud based file (one drive) so others can drop reports they run to populate my PowerBI reports/dashboards. I copied my local files to one drive and thats where the trouble began. PowerBI immediately locked up. When I say locked up I mean it went into an infinity spin. I didn't change the one drive file name but now the data source link is broken for all of work I've done for this project. I would appreciate any help to resolve this. Thank You.

Create a new Power BI file and connect to your OneDrive file. Use Advanced Editor to copy your Source line and replace the Source line(s) in your existing files.
