Windows 10: How can I remove one drive from path in explorer?

I have a new computer with Windows 11 Pro. Under Desktop in the left hand pane every folder including Desktop has onedrive in the path. I do not wish to store my documents, pictures, etc. on onedrive. My old computer, also running on windows 11, does not include onedrive in the paths of the corresponding folders. I have tried removing onedrive from the path using properties but I get a message stating access denied because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected.How can I manage File Explorer so that the folders displayed in the left hand pane are the ones contai

File Explorer - Path for a mapped drive

Sometimes I want to get the full path that i have mapped and copy and paste to send to someone.

I can usually just do a rt click and rename and copy it from there. BUT, if i had edited the path to make it just a one word name or something in the past, i cant get that path, unless i go to Map Network drive and find it in the list of drives i have mapped.

Now when i do that, you guys have made the box very narrow so i cant see the full path so it makes it really difficult to find it. Please widen that path in the drop down folder for the Mapped drive in File Explorer. Why so narrow???? Needs to be changed
so i can find longer paths in a list of similar paths, but slightly different. It creates frustration. i guess no one there has a bunch of long paths mapped and then edited as a shorter name and doesnt need to copy and paste the path to anyone else. i have
run into this issue several times. Widen that box there. thanks.

 

For File Explorer, how to get UNC pathname of folder in mapped Drive ?

Thanks, this is another workaround.

If File Explorer can show the UNC Path, end-user only need to copy the address bar instead of

1. requiring CMD skill and memory for the command
   
2. additional four steps to get UNC pathname of a file.
   
   1. open CMD
      
   2. type in net use
      
   3. copy Remote text
      
   4. add subfolder to Remote Text
      

Your suggestion is very useful in general but for my case need more labour than the one I posted with help from

Find UNC path of a network drive?

Is it possible to minimize steps with your CMD option?

for example, open CMD in the subfolder instead and then type in some command to get UNC path of the subfolder?

There is a paid solution but I need approval from IT; which is unlikely because this is not commonly required except for communicating to Tech Support
