Windows 10: OneDrive files appears twice in the File Explorer

At some point in recent days my File Explorer has listed all my files in the OneDrive folder twice, i.e., the OneDrive folder and its contents is shown twice. The files are not duplicates or copies, because I experimented by deleting some files from one list, to the Recycle Bin and found that the files were now missing from the second list. I then tried copying a file from one list and pasting it to the second list, which resulted in a message telling me that the source and destination were the same. So I'm puzzled as to how or why this happened. Can someone tell what I should do about it pl

External disk appearing twice in Explorer

Hope someone can help me.

I have 2 external disks - labelled M & N which I use for backups.

When they are connected however, they appear twice in Explorer

Attachment 240106

This is very confusing especially as they are listed so close to each other - as N can appear above M! When expanded it is even more confusing.

Right clicking doesn't appear to offer any solutions to hide the "extra" entry. As I don't know what this effect is called, Googling is just about impossible.

Can anyone suggest why they are appearing twice, and whether I can hide the second entry.

Thanks

Colin

 

File Explorer shows NAS twice

Hi Fred,

Shared folders or libraries appear on the File Explorer by design. Try following these steps and see how it goes:

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Select the library where you want to remove a folder.
3. Tap or click the Library Tools tab, and then tap or click
   Manage library.
4. In the dialog box that appears, select the folder you want to remove, tap or click
   Remove, and then tap or click OK.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
