Steps to reproduce

cat $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\PowerShell\secretmanagement\secretvaultregistry\vaultinfo

Do we have to store the ModulePath in the metadata file?

{
  "Vaults": {
    "SS": {
      "ModuleName": "Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore",
      "Description": "",
      "ModulePath": "C:\\Users\\myuser\\Documents\\PowerShell\\Modules\\Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore",
      "VaultParameters": {},
      "SetSecretSupportsMetadata": true
    }
  },
  "DefaultVaultName": "SS"
}

"ModulePath": "C:\\Users\\myuser\\OneDrive - Blah\\Documents\\PowerShell\\Modules\\Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore",

Expected behavior

I recently migrated from using documents in $home to documents in $env:OneDrive

then had to spend a bunch of time fixing the issue by unregistering and reregistering the secretvault.

Does the path really need to be in there?

Actual behavior

errors pointing to the old path that did not exist after the documents directory and modules directory was moved.

This could also occur if you switched module path from user to machine.
