    Then you will have to remove the folder in the registry:

    Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.

    Type regedit, and click OK to open the registry.

    Browse the following path:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}

    If you're having difficulties finding this particular entry, do the following:

    Use the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut to open Find.

    Copy and paste the Registry entry you're looking for, in this case:

    018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6

    Click Find Next to start a search.

    This particular entry can be repeated multiple times in the database, as such make sure to click the Find Next button several times until the Status Bar at the bottom of the Registry reads: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}.

    Select the {018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} key, and on the right side, double-click the System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree DWORD.

    Change the DWORD value from 1 to 0.

    Close the Registry to complete the task.

    Restart your computer and check the file explorer for the folder.

    Then you did not unlink your account from the application. Click on Start button search for OneDrive (should be a folder with a blue cloud). You will have to run OneDrive, then in the cloud icon in the system tray (White cloud bottom right next to the clock) and select settings, go to account tab and click unlink.

    Right click and remove from quick access. Go into your documents folder under your C drive and delete the folder if you want it gone.

    Hope that helps!
