Windows 10: I cannot delete a file after uninstallation of a cloud drive.

I have just downloaded a cloud storange, but it is slow so I uninstalled it but there is a leftover in file explorer. I tried to delete it but won't work and even tried with IObit Unlocker and Power Shell, please help me to remove this trash!

deleting hard drive files

Hi,

May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
perform the task:

• Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
  
• Choose the files to delete
  
• Click on "Clean up system files"
  
• Click on Ok
  

For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.

 

Deleting on-disk OneDrive folder WITHOUT deleting from cloud?

Dear Cerberus. Er - here's a picture of my OneDrive folder, if I can work out how to attach it to this! No cloudsigns or ticks in boxes, just a long list of files I want only in the cloud, not on the hard drive (but don't want to delete FROM the cloud!!)

It's come up saying 'Attach=Config}347209[/attach] so I hope something appears when I post this! Very sorry - how do I make the ticks and cloud signs appear? BTW - there's more in that list than's appearing in the screenshot, that's why it doesn't look like that many files. Yours respectfully Chris.

 

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
