Onedrive sync pending issue

Hi guys, I've just started using Onedrive. I have all my important documents stored in their individual folders saved on a USB flash drive so I copied them over to my Profile Documents folder. At that point, all the files synced to Onedrive. However, 3 out of the 9 folders remained on sync pending after all the others showed as synced. When I checked through all the files within the three folders appear to have synced correctly to Onedrive. It was only the folder that contained the files which showed as sync pending. After reading up on this, any hidden files can cause this so I checked if any of the folders contained any hidden files which they didn't. I read that if you just rename the folder it can fix the issue. That worked with one of the folders..it then synced the folder immediately. Another recommendation was to move the files from within the folders that show as sync pending into another folder and delete the original. This worked but even then I had to also rename the new folders several times before it worked. Has anyone else experienced similar problems and if so How did you fix the issue?
