Windows 10: File Explorer shows old OneDrive folder for old work account I can no longer access

I used to sync my work OneDrive onto my personal laptop and so have a sync-folder for this as well as my personal folder.However, I no longer work there and so dont have access to it. It doesn't seem to exist and I cant click on it to unlink from the PC so I think its possibly in the registerary.Its not stopping me do anything but I would like to tidy it up and remove it from my explorer.Any ideas?Jill

Windows 10 Recent Upgrade - want the old File Explorer back

After recent upgrade of Windows 10 my File Explorer no longer shows every File and subfiles in one list on one screen. This new explorer makes you have to click CUT and then go all the way back to This PC to find the folder I need to paste the file.

Is there a way to get the old explorer back?

 

Explorer, OneDrive, and Pictures Folder Bugging Out


So, I have an Explorer sidebar cluttered with broken things. I'll put this in list form so it's easiest to digest:

1) Installed Windows 10. All was well.
2) Began using OneDrive.
3) Re-directed Pictures folder to OneDrive (D:\OneDrive\Pictures).
4) Decided to go back to university. University offers a free OneDrive Business account with 1TB of storage and free access to all the Office apps. Score! Saving 10 bucks a month!
5) Migrated all of my files from personal account to University account.
6) Logged out of personal OneDrive account.
7) Personal OneDrive folder is stuck in the Explorer sidebar and points to the old OneDrive folder, which it keeps making even if I try to delete it.
8) Tried to re-direct pictures folder to "D:\OneDrive - University\Pictures" and get an "Access Denied" message.

So, I'm stuck with a OneDrive folder in the sidebar I can't get rid of, and a Pictures folder that points to nothing and can't be changed. What can I do to rectify this?

Thanks!

 

File folder search function no longer works

I suggest you remove your cloud drive from the equation until it's clear indexing is working on your internal drive. Were you trying to use Windows search indexing to find things only in cloud storage? Items indexed should be as per your Indexing Options. I've certainly never tried using it to index something in cloud storage. Unless that appears as a drive letter you wont be able to specify it in Indexed locations.

Note this discussion about indexing Onedrive as an example:
OneDrive indexing for WIndows Search – Feature Suggestions for Microsoft OneDrive
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-88984b798fce

But here Dropbox is reported as being indexed:
OneDrive Personal does not show up in Indexing Options after moving to C:/OneDrive in Windows 10 - Super User

Does that mean searching indexed locations on your internal drive works?

Otherwise:
Please check search indexing is working as per post #4.
Then try open explorer at an indexed folder and try searching for a file on your disk.
