    Onedrive sees symlinks that aren't there....


    Trying to sync my Documents folder buuuut it thinks there is a 'My Music' symlink in there. I've looked everywhere and can't find what it's looking for or talking about. I got rid of those shortcuts out of that folder a loooong time ago. There aren't any hidden files/folders in there eitherbox is checked.


    Is there anything else I can try? I'm about ready just to sync it with robocopy or a powershell script.



    Thanks!

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Symlink deleted with Windows 10 upgrade

    Hi Aydee,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please provide the following information with us to understand the issue better.

    • When you upgrade to Windows 10, you will be able to see the report of things needs to be taken care after upgrade, did you get any such report referring to Symlink?

    I would like to inform you that this might have happened due to incompatibility of Symlink with Windows 10, try upgrading to the latest version of Symlink.

    If that does not help, install the Symlink in compatibility mode and check if that helps



    Install the software in compatibility mode.



    a. Locate the executable file (.exe file) for the Symlink.

    b. Right-click the file, and then click Properties.

    c. In the Package Name Properties dialog box, click the Compatibility tab.

    d. Click to select the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box, click Windows 8.1 with which it is compatible with in the Run this program in compatibility mode for list, and then click OK.

    e. Double-click the executable file to start the Symlink.



    For further assistance please get in touch with Symlink support, so that they can assist you better.

    Hope these information helps, please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.



    Thank you.
