Visual Studio Code WSL can't compile files in /mnt/c/OneDrive - c++

Question

I usually store all my programming files in One Drive so that I can access them anywhere I go. But now I need to be able to compile my c++ programs on Linux machines. So I tried using visual studio code in WSL mode but when I try to compile and debug my code I am told that it can't find any *.cpp fies in the specified location, yet the files are clearly there. If I run the compile command on my own in the ubuntu window it works just fine. When I moved the files from /mnt to my home directory everything worked fine. Why would my compile command work just fine when I use it from the ubuntu window, but now work when VS Code tries to do it? Any ideas?
Here is my task.json file and launch.json file:
task.json

}
launch.json
