Hi, I recently installed my OneDrive folder to appear in my file explorer on the left of my screen (see photos) it's nice that it appears just below my users profile. But two folders are appearing now and i dont know how delete one or hide one of them. It's pretty much useless, and king of triggering me ! Do you know how can i delete one of them. I've went through every setting son File Explorer or OneDrive settings, impossible to find !!

Here are two photos leading to the same thing when i click them. Thanks !!capture 1

    Hi,@Paul Gudin

    The the arrows on the pictures above all point to "OneDrive". Could you please tell us which image is for the "Paul - TUGLQ Energy Co"?

    I suggest you also right-click the folder ("OneDrive") on the second image > Propertities > check the whole folder path and remember this path.

    Generally, OneDrive folder is under your Windows account folder, such as C:\Users\<Account Name>\OneDrive - XXXXXXX.

    Pleae go to OneDrive settings, unlink your account first. Then check whether "OneDrive" folder is still existed.

    If so, right-click to delete it;

    If not, please log back in to OneDrive to check for the issue.
