    Unable to remove deleted location from File Explorer


    Hi All,


    I used to have a software called Kiteworks installed on my machine. The app was terrible and didn't work for me so I uninstalled it. Unfortunately I'm still stuck with the location in file explorer which I can't remove please see screenshot. Any idea how I can get this removed? Clicking on it prompts the error message in the screenshot and right-clicking doesn't give any option to remove.


    Thanks

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS

    Unable to remove deleted location from File Explorer

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

    If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.
