  1. Can't remove One Drive folder from D Drive in File Explorer


    I have unlinked One Drive from my PC.

    I have uninstalled One Drive using add/remove programs.

    I have deleted File Registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}AND deleted same for Wow6432Node


    The Onedrive folder is still appearing on my D Drive in file explorer.


    The Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders still shows multiple OneDrive folders like:


    D:\OneDrive\Downloads

    D:\OneDrive\Pictures

    D:\OneDrive\Old Documents I changed the name of Documents to save my current documents in D Drive and it just created 2 Documents folders online since that would be too confusing I changed the name.


    I no longer want to sync with OneDrive. I only want all of my files to be stored on my computer hard drive and then maybe use my online OneDrive as simply an additional storage place with no syncing.


    Please teach me how to remove all instances of OneDrive from my file explorer and explain how to simply use OneDrive as a separate storage facility without syncing to my computer. .

    :)

  2. D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

  3. D drive

    We'd like to ask few questions so we can isolate your concern properly. Kindly answer the following:

    • Are you using an external drive as your D drive?
    • Can you show us a screenshot of your File explorer?
    • When you say "something will come up and be like "Drive Removed", is this the actual error message?

    Can't remove One Drive folder from D Drive in File Explorer

    Can not pin folders and drives in File Explorer

    I am using Windows 10, a while ago I was about to pin "downloads" in file explorer, I dragged the "downloads" folder on file explorer icon but then due to electricity getting dim my computer restarted and after starting I restored my pc due to some other
    problem but after that I can not pin any thing in file explorer whenever I click on drive "C" or "D" in jump list it says "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list".

    Also when I try to pin something in "Quick Access" it says "The parameter is incorrect".

    Please help me.

    And thanks in advance.
