The Personal Vault in your OneDrive folder on the PC is considered a folder shortcut to the Personal Vault on your online OneDrive (cloud). A shortcut is treated like a file for how it's listed.

 

OneDrive Personal Vault corrupt on Windows 11 Error Code: 0x8004100e

Hi Javier

I already did that. A couple of times. Most recently, as follow-on steps to your recommendation to delete my Personal Vault permanantly:

1. Followed your steps to permanently delete Personal Vault on OneDrive web
   
2. On my laptop:
   
   1. Disabled OneDrive backups
      
   2. Unlink this PC
      
   3. Uninstalled OneDrive application
      
   4. Deleted OneDrive folder
      
   5. Rebooted
      
   6. Reinstalled OneDrive
      
   7. Logged back in and retried Personal Vault - same error
      

 

OneDrive personal vault deleted

Hi Brink, I'm probably wrong, but I think I figured out my mistake. The Personal Vault is a folder. If you set up the OneDrive folder contents to be ordered by "Name", where the folders will be at the top of the column, first in the queue, the Personal Vault folder it's not "grouped" among the other folders. Instead, it is treated like a file.

That's why I didn't find the Personal Vault where I expected it. Can you verify?
