I have unlinked the OneDrive from my computer and signed out from my OneDrive account and then uninstalled OneDrive. And yet the folder persists and will not be deleted. The OneDrive folder can be seen selected here in my C:Drive (see below).

I have tried many things now but to no avail. Can you help me?

    Dear Xamie,

    Thank you for posting your query in our community.

    Per your description, you can't delete the OneDrive sync folder after unlinking your account.

    Generally, after unlinking OneDrive, if you don't want to use OneDrive, you can right-click the OneDrive sync folder to delete it manually.

    May I know that whether you get any error message when right-clicking the OneDrive sync folder to delete it? If yes, to help you better, could you please provide the screenshot of the error message for me?

    Sincerely,
