Windows 10. There are several subfolders in the YandexDisk folder, which are a symbolic link (folder) made in FAR. How to turn them into regular folders, ie. break the link to the parent folder, without losing the content and so that Yandex.disk does not lose files either on the disk or in the cloud?

In FAR: remove symlink with disk turned off, copy content, turn on disk.

Disable synchronization of folders to which these links point in the Yandex disk settings (via the client or web interface) -> delete the links themselves (these are not some kind of "folder", but links ) -> copy the necessary folders to the place of the links (you can skip, i.disk will download itself, but it will be faster locally) -> enable synchronization.
Before all this, be sure to save a backup copy and use the "previous versions" in i.disk and Windows.
