    Problem Deleting Folder on OneDrive


    I've been backing up some of my stuff on OneDrive, and today, when I tried to rename one of the folders on OneDrive I got an error message saying that the path was too long. I clicked No/Cancel/Whatever-it-was-called thinking that it would abort the rename. Instead, OneDrive stopped syncing. I got it working again, but I'd like to know what I should do if I get this error again. I'm afraid to experiment, because I don't want to risk an even worse problem.

    :)

    Windows media player automatically shares OneDrive pictures folder on network

    HI,

    Thanks but this is not the problem I have (onedrive folder sharing). The problem is the Windows Media Player is linking to my OneDrive pictures folder and availing all the content (13 GB of back up pictures from PC and my mobile) on my home network which
    can be accessed by anyone connecting to the my home network. Despite going to WMP and deleting the Onedrive folder from the shared folders list (right click on pictures/Manage Pictures Libraries and then remove OneDrive pictures folder) the dang WMP still
    reconnects and addes Onedrive folder back to the list of libraries to be shared !

    this is frustrating because first, WMP should not automatically connects by default to Onedrive without specifically requesting it the first place, then when I delete it form the list, it should not reconnect to it.

    Windows 10 taskbar and start menu are not working.

    Did you mean delete iCloud folder or OneDrive? Windows won't allow me to delete either of these folders.
