Windows 10: remove pin gui in windows explorer

seems like a stretch, but is there a way to remove the pins in explorer. they look so stupid and are totally unnecessary

Can't unpin FTP location from Quick Access

I've pinned an FTP location to the Quick Access menu in Windows 10 Explorer, but now cannot unpin it.

To replicate:

1. Browse to an FTP location in Windows Explorer

2. Right-click "Quick Access"

3. Select "Pin current folder to Quick access"

4. Right-click the newly pinned folder

You should see that there is no option to unpin the folder. The context menu only offers the (greyed out) option to "Expand".

Notably, this pin only appears in Explorer and not in the jump lists (for example by right-clicking Explorer from the task bar).

How do I remove this pin?

 

Windows 10 - Cannot Drag Pinned File from Taskbar to Copy to Location

Hi Sara, if this is a duplicate post - please ignore it!

Microsoft do have a habit of removing functionality that we, as users, still require

Open Windows File Explorer, paste the text below into the Address Bar, there you will find the location of the items you have pinned to the Taskbar:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
