Hi there,

I uninstalled Google Drive from my computer, but it stayed behind in File Explorer. I can't open the file, can't delete, can't move. It's just there. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? See screenshot for error message:

    Hello Chris, 

    If you used the method in the tutorial below to originally add "Google Drive" to the navigation pane of File Explore, you can use the remove option to remove it.

    Go File Explorer, C:\users\your user name\Google Drive.  If you find it then delete it.

    Also In Quick access unpin it.
