    Empty system file folder on sidebar in files cannot be deleted


    This is quite old but has been a problem for a while, i got icloud photos on my computer from the windows 10 store a while ago, I also got rid of it a while ago but these system files in the sidebar have persisted, the shortcut they take you to doesn't exist, they contain nothing, I cannot get rid of them, please help. There's about 20 of these in my sidebar. I get the message below when I try to open it and hiding it does not work. I cannot take this anymore.

    :)

    BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

    why not just sort the folder by file size and manually delete all the tiny ones every now and then?
