    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

    How to remove OneDrive from file explorer path

    Why were SMART Files Removed from OneDrive in Windows 10?

    This article details why SMART files, also known as placeholder files, were removed from OneDrive in Windows 10.

    Details

    fragmented sync engines between OneDrive on Windows 7/Mac, OneDrive on Windows 8.1, and OneDrive for Business. The following article details what changes the OneDrive team made and why they made them:

    From a development point of view, it's a much better approach to consolidate their codebase, but from a user point of view, it's very frustrating.

    Like many of us, if you want that feature back, please vote for it here on the OneDrive UserVoice page:
