Windows 10: 2 deleted folders are still pinned in Quick Access and I can't unpin them and I also can't...

What do I do with 2 deleted folders that are still pinned in Quick Access and I can't unpin them and I can't delete them?

Quick Access - "Location is not available"

I solved the problem without following steps 1, 2, and 3. The solution is stupidly simple and it doesn't make any difference as to whether the problem item in the Quick Access list is pinned or unpinned.

1. Create the folder in the same path where Quick Access reported it to be unlocatable. The folder will be empty.

2. Delete the folder you just created. The Quick Access item that WAS listed in Quick Access disappears!!

Note that #2 does not remove or delete the item from Quick Access. It deletes the empty folder you just created *from the machine* (i.e., it goes to the Recycle bin) and as a consequence of the deletion, it disappears from the Quick Access list.

 

Pin or Unpin Quick Access Locations in Windows 10  


What you originally posted below was from a jump list instead of Quick access that you just now posted above. Did you unpin the folder from within Quick access instead of a jump list? *Confused

Hi,



I would suggest you to boot into safe mode and check if you can unpin and repin the folders



Redirecting
