    Cannot remove onedrive location from explorer


    Hi there. I cannot get onedrive removed from explorer. I tried uninstalling onedrive. Regedit. I have no idea how to get it removed.

    When i click the drive in explorer it gives me an error ''drive location unavailable''. But i also cannot remove it. It is driving me nuts haha.

    Version 2004 (build 19041.804)

    Move Onedrive location in file explorer to below This PC

    Version: Windows 20H2 (19042.746)
    Hi people,

    I've been following tutorials online about changing the files listed on the This PC view with registry editor
    I've removed quick access and network for example, and the system libraries.

    I do uni work on the OneDrive, but I always miss it at the top, so I effectively want to swap it with the position of This PC or put it below This PC on the panel list.

    I think I just need to know the location of a different section such as network and change the value of that to hold OneDrive, but I'm not sure.

    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.

    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.
