Deleted file remaining in the Favorites list

Question

Hello, I have deleted one file on my computer, it's also gone from the OneDrive. But the link in the Favorites list remains in the File Explorer. I can't remove it by clicking "Remove from Favorites", that does nothing.

If I try to open it, it throws and error about the missing/deleted/renamed file, which it is. But I can't get rid of this one shortcut, it's just stuck in the list.

Any other ways to remove it? Or refresh the whole list somehow?

Hi,

Did you sign in the OneDrive in PC?

I suggest you try to unlink OneDrive from PC first:

Then after unlinking OneDrive, try to remove files from Favorite in File Explorer manually.
