Windows 10: Trying to delete Pictures File that I removed from OneDrive

I took some files out of my OneDrive to make a dedicated OneDrive folder, and I removed my Pictures File from my OneDrive. I tried unpinning the folder, using cmd to delete the directory as well. I also tried deleting the file through the file explorer with shell:recent\AutomaticDestinations.I just want the file gone from my quick access, so please help!

OneDrive "only" folders on Windows Phone 8 vs OneDrive online.

Hi tribexx,

Thanks for following up with detailed steps.

After the "Saved pictures from SkyDrive" gets generated, you can find them from the OneDrive.

• Launch OneDrive from app list
• You will find the "Saved Pictures" from "files pivot" (root level) and/or under "Pictures" folder
• Tap into "Saved Pictures" from OneDrive app, you can (multiple) delete files or perform other operations from there. For multiple delete
  • Tap on "select"
  • Multiple selection of files you want to delete
  • Tap on delete
  • And confirm
  
  You can also try to use the "search" from app bar (at the bottom of screen) to search "Saved pictures". If you still cannot find the "Saved pictures", please let us know.
  
  Thank you.
  

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
