  1. Remove Links/Files From Navigation Bar in File Explorer


    A few days ago, my computer installed OneDrive for Business which I didn't need. In an effort to remove it, I ended up uninstalling OneDrive completely including my personal OneDrive and Microsoft Office for good measure. After installing it all back to my computer, everything is back to normal but the OneDrive for Business link is still in the Navigation Bar of the File Explorer. It does not have an associated location as when I click on it, it gives an error message basically saying the location is moved or deleted which it true, I deleted it. My problem is that I can't remove this from the Navigation Bar and I'd like to do this. Any help out there would be great!!!

    :)

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
