    How to remove "Creative Cloud Files" from File Explorer address bar

    Does any one know how to remove this Creative Cloud Files option after uninstalling Creative Cloud app from Windows 10

    Additional info :

    1. This folder does not exist as I deleted C:\username\Creative Cloud Files after uninstallation
    2. This is not from File Explorer address bar history
    3. I've already tried clearing address bar history
    4. I've reinstalled and used Official Uninstallers [ 1 ] & [ 2 ]
    5. Suggestions about removing Creative Cloud Files from File Explorer Side Bar does not resolve this

    I can't tell if this problem exist in other user account but i don't want to use that either.

    Any hints or suggestions ?

    Update

    After much digging around & hints from @DrMoishe Pippik, I have reached another dead end.

    If I go to %USERPROFILE%\Links there are two links Desktop & Downloads

    Going inside Desktop, it shows me Creative Cloud Files but I cannot delete it as Delete option is not there and Unlocker could not delete/rename it

    Hence the problem now becomes :

    1. I cannot cannot access this file from command prompt as its link inside link. Weirdly I cannot find this in dir /al /s c:\ > c: either
    2. I cannot change its permission as it shows the error below. Safe mode doesn't allow that either

    Update

    Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDes‌​criptions as requested by @harrymc can be found below

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion - Pastebin.com

    Screenshot of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace which didn't point to anything important either
