Windows 10: Delete Onedrive icon from file explorer

We are using OneDrive for business in our office. I link OneDrive to my business email address for a long time. Couple of days ago I linked of our colleague account to copy some folders to my desktop.

After copying his data I unlinked his account but the OneDrive icon is still drive. Today I unlinked my account then delete the OneDrive folders from my account but this blue icon is still there.

Please help me

Preview pane (file explorer) not always working on OneDrive files

Thank you for getting back to us.

Noting all the information that you have provided.

Since the above troubleshooting steps did not work, let us clear the File Explorer history.

• Type control in the search box from Start. Then click Control Panel from the result.
• Enter file in the search box on the top right of the Control Panel window. Then click File Explorer Options from the result.
• Click Clear to clear File Explorer history. Then click Apply > OK.
• Press the Windows logo key and E at the same time to open your File Explorer and check to see if it works fine.

It's also possible that the issue is on OneDrive. Let us see if resetting the OneDrive app will do the trick. Don't worry it won't delete any of your files saved to your OneDrive.

• 
  Press the Windows key + R.
  
• 
  In the Run window, enter: %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
  
• 
  Click OK.
  
• 
  Make sure the OneDrive icon in the notification area of the taskbar disappears and then re-appears after a minute or two. Here’s how to check: Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
  
  
  
  (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
  OneDrive icon.)
  
• 
  If the OneDrive icon doesn’t re-appear after a few minutes, open the Run window again and enter:
  %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe
  

Update us with the result so we can further assist you.

 

How can I "unhide" onedrive from file explorer

Open 'OneDrive' folder from the Start menu/AllApps list.

 

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.
