    remove inextant account onedrive folder from explorer

    Hi, I'm Anvar, I'd be glad to help you today on this

    To remove OneDrive folder from file explorer will have to stop backup in OneDrive settings before unlinking account

    Kindly do below steps

    Link OneDrive with your account again and wait till it completely sync

    and click Backup in OneDrive settings and click backup settings and click stop backup for all items there

    once the backup stopped for all items click on account tab and select choose folders

    untick available offline option and click OK

    once all above steps done unlink account and now OneDrive folder will be removed from fie explorer



    Hope this helps.

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

    Remove Unused Folders-OneDrive File Explorer

    Unable to remove onedrive folder

    After uninstalling OneDrive using the tutorial on tenforums and then doing a restart, my OneDrive folder still contains 85GB of data. I will try removing the folder via registry mod after I do a backup of my C drive.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your suggestion Brink. Unfortunately, after downloading and running "Disable_OneDrive_Integration.reg" and doing a restart, I still get the same error msg when I try to rename the OneDrive folder. I do not have OneDrive shown in Win10's File Explorer left pane.
    Thanks,
