The above mentioned tricks don't work for this particular folder and I can't really find it in the Registry... *Sad

I was hoping this was this one {24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE} described as "OneDrive Documents" but the well-know trick with adding "ThisPCPolicy" string with "Hide" value doesn't seem to work...

How to clean up "This PC"?

I've been trying to set up OneDrive to back up some of my user folders and probably made a couple of mistakes along the way but have it all working now except for one problem. My "Documents" folder is not displaying in "This PC" and instead there is an
item named "New folder" in "This PC" that has the icon that the Documents folder should have but points to a folder called "New folder" because when I click on it I get an error that "New folder" is unavailable. The other usual folders are there "Desktop",
"Downloads", "Music", etc. How can I create the item for "Documents" and delete the "New folder" item? Or change the name of "New folder" and point it to the correct documents folder?

 

Can't delete old Skydrive folder full of placeholders

I have a Windows 10 computer upgraded from 8.1. I have two "Onedrive" folders. One is actually my current Onedrive folder which syncs with no issues. However, my second folder is actually my old "Skydrive" folder which is full of the "placeholder" files
with the blue sync arrows on them. No matter what I try, I can't get rid of the old Skydrive/Onedrive folder. Nothing I do in the registry, permissions, ownership... ANYTHING,,, will get rid of the old, unsyncing placeholder files from the original Windows
8.1 installation. How do I remove this folder?

 

Hello mikolajek, *Smile

I don't have OneDrive Business to test with, but you might see if the .reg file below may be able to remove its Documents folder for you. You'll need to restart afterwards to fully apply.

64-bit_Remove_OneDrive-Documents_Folder_in_This_PC.reg

Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE}\PropertyBag] "ThisPCPolicy"="Hide" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE}\PropertyBag] "ThisPCPolicy"="Hide" [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE}] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{24D89E24-2F19-4534-9DDE-6A6671FBB8FE}][/quote]

 

Thanks for this, Brink, but unfortunately it's not working *Sad This is a strange issue indeed as this one is some sort of folder redirection and besides inability to get rid of Documents folder link, it also causes duplicate Documents folder entries in Open/Save dialogs.

If anyone has come across the way of resolving this, I'd appreciate it!.
