    @Caleb Baildon Welcome to Microsoft Q& Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    You can manually delete all attached resources by deleting the following folders:

    Windows: %AppData%/StorageExplorer
    macOS: /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/StorageExplorer
    Linux: ~/.config/StorageExplorer

    Close Storage Explorer before you delete these folders.

    Looking forward for reply!

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.

    Hi Sumarigo
    Thank you for the advice I will keep it in mind. However in my case I just tried again the next day (without restarting the computer or anything) and it just worked properly. I had restarted the programme several times yesterday, I don't know why it worked today.
    Thanks.
