Windows 10: Remove red Onedrive "Make a backup" icon on Explorer

Onedrive wants me to make a backup of the files I have in that folder but I don't want a Onedrive backup of the folder I have a different documents folder for the files I want to backup. If I click the icon, I get the following windowwhich says Onedrive doesn't have enough space and wants me to get a subscription to get more space.Thing is... I don't need to backup those files, I don't need a subscription and I don't want a red icon on the address bar as if I were doing something wrong. How can I remove such icon?

Removing OneDrive Green Check Mark Icons in Windows 10 file explorer


Hi,
Does anyone know if one can remove the green check marks in file explorer that indicate that a file is synced on OneDrive?
If one is using list, details or small icon view, there is no way to visually see the file type.
Thanks, Paul
